Polish Prime Minister Tusk Condemns Celebration of AfD's Victory in Saxony-Anhalt Regional Elections
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk expressed regret over the victory of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) in the regional elections held on Sunday in the German state of Saxony-Anhalt.
The AfD secured 43.8% of the votes, more than doubling its result from the 2021 regional elections.
Tusk criticized those in Poland who celebrated the AfD's win, stating on X that "only idiots or traitors can be happy about AfD's triumph in Germany," explicitly naming Poland's ultraconservative parties Konfederacja and PiS.
Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski called the election result a "very alarming signal," warning that "when others become nationalists, instead of peace we have conflicts." Regional Development Minister Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz described the AfD as "neo-fascists" linked to Russia, while Interior Minister Marcin Kierwiński referred to those celebrating the victory as "contemporary Targowica." Former Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki also expressed concern over the AfD's rise due to its ties with Russia, attributing its victory to "liberal left elites in Brussels."
