Sachsen-Anhalt CDU shifts stance on AfD cooperation ahead of state election

This marks a notable reversal from prior categorical exclusion, potentially reshaping coalition dynamics ahead of the state election. The shift is significant for German state-level politics and could signal broader CDU strategy changes.

This represents a departure from the CDU's traditional 'firewall' against the AfD, potentially enabling ad-hoc majorities in the state legislature. The full implications for coalition dynamics and broader CDU strategy remain uncertain.
