Alastair Bunkall: Sky News European Correspondent on Germany's far-right party AfD winning the state election in Saxony-Anhalt

from Early Edition with Ryan Bridge · host Newstalk ZB

Germany's far-right AfD is piling pressure on parties to work with them after a state election win.  Preliminary results show the party is three seats short of an outright majority in Saxony-Anhalt.  However most German political parties refuse to work with the AfD.  If it finds support, it would be the first far-right party to govern a German state since World War II.  Sky News European Correspondent Alastair Bunkall told Ryan Bridge there's a chance they could try and govern as a minority, but even then they'd probably still need an agreement to make sure anything they wanted to pass got across the line.  LISTEN ABOVE   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
