German Federal Parties Back Mandate to Block AfD State Government in Saxony-Anhalt

Major German federal parties (SPD, Greens, The Left, CDU) have confirmed support for a federal mandate to prevent an AfD-led government in Saxony-Anhalt, an unprecedented move in post-war Germany. This development follows the BSW's confirmed refusal to form a coalition with the AfD or any other party in the state, leaving no clear governing majority. The situation indicates a hardening of political positions and a potential constitutional crisis over federal intervention in state affairs.
