Recent state elections in Saxony and Thuringia have resulted in significant gains for the Alternative for Germany (AfD) and the newly formed Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW). The AfD's rise to the second-largest party in Saxony and the largest in Thuringia has raised alarms among economists, who foresee negative impacts on the regions' economies.

Over 78% of experts surveyed anticipate detrimental effects on the attractiveness for skilled workers and investment decisions. The BSW's effect is seen as slightly less damaging, yet still concerning.

The economic apprehensions stem from the policies and rhetoric of the AfD, which are considered unfavorable for business environments. The situation has prompted calls for careful coalition negotiations, with the CDU, BSW, and other parties seeking to form stable governments.

Meanwhile, in Brandenburg, the U16 elections also reflected a strong showing for the AfD, indicating a broader trend that may influence future political landscapes. The developments serve as a stark reminder of the shifting political dynamics in Germany and their potential economic ramifications.
