Chancellor Olaf Scholz emphasized the need for democratic parties to form stable coalitions without the Alternative for Germany party, referring to the election results as "bitter".
Scholz warned that the rise of the AfD is damaging to Germany, stating it weakens the economy, divides society, and harms the country's international reputation.
Despite the AfD's electoral gains, Scholz reiterated that other parties will not align with the far-right, calling for unity among traditional parties to counter these trends.
AfD co-leader Alice Weidel argued that the party's presence is essential for a stable government in Saxony and Thuringia, challenging the mainstream parties' exclusion of the AfD.
