Saxony-Anhalt Prepares For State Elections

MAGDEBURG, GERMANY - FEBRUARY 19: An election campaign billboard of the German Free Democrats (FDP) reads: "A constitutional state rather than a push to the right" in reference to the growing popularity of right-wing populists on February 19, 2016 in Magdeburg, Germany. State elections scheduled for March 13 in three German states: Rhineland-Palatinate, Saxony-Anhalt and Baden-Wuerttemberg, will be a crucial test-case for German Chancellor and Chairwoman of the German Christian Democrats (CDU) Angela Merkel, who has come under increasing pressure over her liberal immigration policy towards migrants and refugees. The Alternative fuer Deutschland (AfD), with campaign rhetoric aimed at Germans who are uneasy with so many newcomers, has solid polling numbers and will almost certainly win seats in all three state parliaments.
