Bjorn Hocke, the AfD's leader in Thuringia, has made headlines with his extremist rhetoric, which resonates with a significant portion of the electorate in these eastern states.
The projected outcomes in Thuringia and Saxony signal a troubling trend for the ruling coalition, prompting CDU's Linnemann to criticize their policies and advocate for a government change.
Tino Chrupalla, co-leader of the AfD, emphasized that the results in Thuringia reflect a 'clear mandate' for his party, showcasing their willingness to initiate talks for government formation.
The rise of the AfD, particularly in Thuringia, is being interpreted as a potential precursor to the dynamics anticipated in next year's federal elections in Germany.
