The upcoming state election in Brandenburg reveals a fierce contest between the SPD and the AfD, with polls indicating a tightening race. Prime Minister Woidke of the SPD is optimistic about retaining power, while the AfD, led by relatively unknown candidate Hans-Christoph Berndt, exploits national figures to bolster its image.

The AfD's radicalization is evident, fueled by recent political debates surrounding immigration. Concerns arise regarding the potential for unstable coalitions, which could exacerbate issues within parliamentary democracy.

Meanwhile, the Greens struggle for survival, facing the possibility of exclusion from parliament. A recent study highlights the complex dynamics of cooperation among parties, indicating that the AfD's influence is more significant than previously thought, particularly in eastern regions.

As the election approaches, the political landscape remains fraught with uncertainty, highlighting the challenges faced by traditional parties against the rising tide of extremist sentiments.
