The Alternative for Germany (AfD) is a far-right political party in Germany that has gained significant support in the eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt.
Migrants in Saxony-Anhalt are individuals who have moved to the state from other countries and are concerned about their belonging, security, and future in Germany.
The AfD's rise has been linked to the state's struggling economy and issues such as migration, Russia, and disenfranchisement.
The AfD and migrants have conflicting interests because the AfD's platform, which includes anti-immigration policies, threatens the rights and well-being of migrants.
The AfD's potential electoral success, possibly leading to a landslide win or even governing alone, raises concerns among migrants about their place in German society.
The election outcome could significantly impact the migrant community's sense of security and belonging.
