Catherine Field: Europe Correspondent on Germany's far-right AfD party winning the Saxony-Anhalt election

from The Mike Hosking Breakfast · host Newstalk ZB

Security is a key concern for Germany's government as a far-right party seeks to gain control of a state for the first time since World War II.  Preliminary election results in Saxony-Anhalt show the AfD party is three seats short of an outright majority.  The party is assessed by domestic intelligence as "far-right extremist", a classification the party rejects.  Europe Correspondent Catherine Field told Mike Hosking if in government, the AfD would have control of security.  She says the party —which is very pro-Russian— would be privy to all the information federal authorities have on Russia.  LISTEN ABOVE   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
