What actually happens if the far right starts to win power in Germany? | DW News

The far-right AfD party is on course for a landslide win in the German state of Saxony-Anhalt and could even govern alone. That would give the party unprecedented power over law and order, schools, and culture. In this film, DW hears directly from the AfD, their political opponents, and security officials about what’s really at stake in this election. Not just for the people of Saxony-Anhalt, but for Germany as a whole.
