AfD election success in Sachsen-Anhalt to be debated on Maybrit Illner

The ZDF political talk show ‘Maybrit Illner’ will address the political fallout following the AfD’s significant electoral success in Sachsen-Anhalt. The episode, titled ‘Die Denkzettelwahl – was muss sich ändern?’ (The Lesson-Learning Election – what must change?), focuses on the reactions of ruling parties in Berlin and the potential for a coalition crisis.

Key discussion points include the possibility of a ban on the AfD, a measure previously considered by officials such as Boris Pistorius and Cem Özdemir, and whether the election results will impact the leadership of the CDU. Guests for the debate include former CDU chairman Armin Laschet, Baden-Württemberg Minister-President Cem Özdemir, political scientist Julia Reuschenbach, journalist Robin Alexander, and journalist Sabine Rennefanz.
