Before the Saxony-Anhalt election: AfD plans “home visit” to refugee-friendly CDU district administrator. Götz Ulrich sees the choice of route as an attempt at intimidation.

In November 2023, the AfD was the second state association of the party after Thuringia to be classified as proven right-wing extremist by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution. One of those who registered for the rally, Hans-Thomas Tillschneider, is being monitored by the OPC.
