WHAT HAPPENED

Germany’s Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance has indicated it wants to help the Alternative for Germany secure a state minister-president position. The headline describes a domestic political maneuver rather than a confirmed change of government.

SO WHAT?

Such cooperation could weaken Germany’s political cordon around the far right and alter coalition dynamics at state level.
