It's a political earthquake in Germany. On Sunday, the far-right AfD party won a historic victory in Saxony-Anhalt.
"I am concerned," replied Joachim Nagel, at a press conference in Berlin, after the meeting of the Council of the European Central Bank (ECB), when questioned about the outcome of the regional elections in Saxony-Anhalt (east of Germany), where the extreme right won an overwhelming victory.
Saxony-Anhalt has been led for a full twenty years by coalition governments (without the AfD, of course) led by the strong Christian Democrats (CDU).
The president of the German central bank, Joachim Nagel, is concerned about the rise of the radical right in his country. A few days after the election victory of the far-right Alternative für Deutschland in the state of Saxony-Anhalt, he warned that anti-immigration rhetoric could also cause economic headwinds.
