This Sunday, the eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt can give victory to the far right 80 years later – for the first time since the Second World War. The latest polls give the Alternative for Germany (AfD) 43%, a percentage that could mean an absolute majority.
For its part, the conservative Christian Democratic Union (CDU), Sven Schulze’s party, gives up to 23% to the Left and no more than 13%. The victory of the AfD would be the second at the regional level, after the one also achieved in the Thuringia region in 2024.
The candidate for prime minister in Saxony-Anhalt is Ulrich Siegmund, a politician trusted by AfD’s national leaders to govern. . He is “the most dangerous man in Germany”, in the words of Der Spiegel, the country’s most important magazine.
He was born on October 25, 1990 in Havelberg. His political career began in the ranks of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), the traditional conservative party.

Today is International Color Blind Day, those people who cannot distinguish red from green, or blue from yellow.
In reality we live in a colorblind world, not for colors but for truth and lies. Look, today the Germans of Saxony, for the first time after the Second World War, can give victory to the most ultra party, led by a guy who recently painted swastikas on his face, dressed like a military man and claimed the Aryan race. His name is Ulrich Siegmund and according to the most prestigious German magazine, Der Spiegel, he is “The most dangerous man in Germany.”
Voters in Saxony do not believe those who warn them of the consequences of making this neo-Nazi president. That is, people who were under the communist boot – Saxony is in the former Soviet zone of Germany – 30 years after their liberation may be about to choose a fascist as their leader.
How close and dangerous the situation is that a German police leader wrote an article telling the police of that State to prepare to disobey orders if they are contrary to democracy.
The result of those elections will arrive next morning. Either the polls are wrong or that blonde who looks like he can kill himself in the gym could be the beginning of another Germany. One that rhymes with the history of the 20th century. In a while we continue with international politics, like every Sunday. Now, time for joy and recreation.
Good morning to the good people.
