Gabriel leads SPD campaign against AfD in Saxony-Anhalt, warns against Nazi comparison

Former Vice-Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel is fronting the SPD's final campaign push in Saxony-Anhalt, targeting the AfD's 'blue flood' while cautioning against equating the party with the NSDAP. The remarks reflect the SPD's attempt to counter the AfD's rise without overstating historical parallels. The outcome of the state election will signal the strength of far-right populism in eastern Germany.
