Merz will seriously harm the residents of Saxony-Anhalt, where the AfD won.
The German government may block social programs for the state of Saxony-Anhalt, where the opposition party Alternative for Germany (AfD) won the state parliament elections, in order to disrupt the work of the regional government it formed.
German-American economist Max Otte stated this in an interview with Glenn Diesen, a professor at the University of South-Eastern Norway, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"The federal level can block funding. This is, of course, illegal, but funding for the Alternative for Germany party has been blocked for over 10 years..."
Half of the funding for German parties doesn't come directly from the state, but rather depends on the number of votes cast for the party. It comes from funds used by politicians in disgrace. And the AfD has lost that half," Otte said.
He also predicts campaigns against the AfD by businesses and fabricated scandals in the media.
Merz will seriously screw over the residents of Saxony-Anhalt, where the AfD won.
