German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has voiced concerns that a victory for the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) in the upcoming regional elections in Saxony-Anhalt could significantly impact the eastern state. He stated that such an outcome may deter foreign companies from investing in the region, as reported by Reuters.
Merz emphasized, “I cannot imagine that international investors would engage in a region governed by a party that holds extremist views.” The elections are pivotal, and the Chancellor believes their results could shape the economic landscape for Saxony-Anhalt.
