德国东部萨克森-安哈尔特州周日举行州议会选举，极右翼政党另类选择党（AfD）有机会在战后德国历史上首次掌控一个州政府1。这个人口210万的州位于柏林西部，此次选举对该党构成重大突破——AfD虽为德国国家议会最大反对党，但13年来争取的最大职位就是这个州长职位1。
如果AfD获得绝对多数席位，将突破主流政党建立的"防火墙"拒绝1。该党候选人乌尔里希·西格蒙德表示"我们将在这里创造历史"1，若其当选，将成为AfD首位州长1。总理默茨对此提出警告，称"如果极右翼民粹党获得绝对多数，国际投资者会三思而后行"，暗示AfD执政将损害该州经济1。现任州长舒尔茨则承诺"100%"不与AfD合作1。
两年前图林根州曾出现AfD获得最多票但未能执政的情况1。此外，9月20日还将进行梅克伦堡-前波美拉尼亚州和柏林的州选举1。
Voters in Saxony-Anhalt, a state with a population of 2.1 million located west of Berlin, went to the polls on Sunday in a state parliament election that could mark a historic turning point for Germany's far-right Alternative for Germany party (AfD).1 The AfD, which is the largest opposition party in the German national parliament, is seeking its most significant political position in its 13-year history.1 If the party achieves an absolute majority, it would break through a firewall of cooperation maintained by mainstream parties and potentially elevate AfD candidate Ulrich Siegmund to become the party's first state governor.1
Mainstream political leaders have warned against such an outcome. Chancellor Merz cautioned that "if the far-right populist party gains an absolute majority, international investors will think twice," citing concerns about economic damage.1 The incumbent state governor has pledged "100 percent" not to cooperate with the AfD.1 Siegmund declared: "We will make history here."1 Notably, two years ago in Thuringia, the AfD received the most votes but was unable to take power due to mainstream parties' refusal to form coalitions with it.1 The outcome in Saxony-Anhalt comes as voters are also scheduled to cast ballots on September 20 in elections in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Berlin.1
