The CDU parliamentary group in Saxony-Anhalt has confirmed a shift in policy, indicating a willingness to support individual AfD motions on a case-by-case basis. 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.
