The far-right AfD’s strong result in the German state ofSaxony-Anhalt election has drawn international attention, with messages of support from US President Donald Trump, Elon Musk and figures linked to Russia. In this DW interview, a political scientist talks about why the AfD appeals to parts of the MAGA movement, Musk’s possible motivations for backing the party, and concerns about the AfD’s positions on migration, the economy, Ukraine and relations with Moscow. The discussion also explores whether support from Trump, Musk and Russia could help or ultimately hurt the AfD’s long-term political ambitions in Germany.
