By Caroline Gifford Attention is focused on regional vote this Sunday that could determine the fate of the national government Björn Höcke shielded his eyes from the bright lights as he peered from the stage into the crowds gathered on a square in front of a gothic church in central Cottbus Flanked by the slogans “It’s time for real change” and “It’s time to save our country,” the leader of the far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) in Thuringia swept into Cottbus the second largest city in the state of Brandenburg for the party’s final rally before a regional election on Sunday that could determine the fate of Germany’s government Fresh from an election victory three weeks ago in which his party secured 33% of the vote “I see a lot of women and young men,” he said “It used to be only old white men who were concerned about the future of … our beloved German Fatherland Now everyone recognises that they’re affected by the fatal politics of the cartel parties.” holding banners reading: “Fed up to the back teeth” Among them were clusters of young men in their 20s with distinct haircuts and bomber jackets as well as 14- and 15-year-old school friends Ruben “They’re about to write history,” said Micah clutching a souvenir AfD mug embossed with the motto: “Somebody has to stay awake” in one hand and clenching the other in a fist which he shook in apparent approval of Höcke but we’re ready and waiting for when we finally can.” The AfD, narrowly leading in the polls ahead of the Social Democrats (SPD) where the party has formed the strongest faction in the city parliament since 2019 With 27% of Brandenburgers still undecided if they will vote at all and if so for whom campaigning is expected to continue feverishly until the last minute Young AfD supporters at the rally in Cottbus Photograph: Christian Jungeblodt/The GuardianAbout 2.5 million Brandenburgers are eligible to vote on Sunday in what may be one of the smallest German states population-wise and suburban settlements surrounding Berlin with its predicted boost for the far-right party the race is drawing a huge amount of attention that belies the state’s size the AfD upended the status quo with its win in Thuringia – the first time a far-right force had won a state election in post-war Germany – accompanied by a strong second place in neighbouring Saxony with more than 30% a skilled orator who has pushed for an about-turn in Germany’s culture of Holocaust remembrance and atonement has been classed as a rightwing extremist by the domestic intelligence agency an AfD representative on Cottbus city council predicted a “glorious” victory for the AfD which has been leading the polls in the state for more than a year As the only state in eastern Germany where the Social Democrats have ruled continuously since German reunification in 1990, Brandenburg’s vote is seen as a particular test for the embattled coalition government of the SPD chancellor, Olaf Scholz, which, according to a poll this week only 3% of Germans are convinced is good for the country With Brandenburg’s vote being viewed as a referendum on Scholz’s government defeat for the SPD would be of deep symbolic significance particularly before next autumn’s Bundestag election A disappointing performance by the SPD would cause humiliation in Berlin and would probably diminish support for Scholz’s intention to run for a second term LiveWhy the far-right AfD has been so successful in Germany – video explainer Dietmar Woidke has upped the ante by pledging to resign if the AfD wins on Sunday He has even excluded Scholz from his election campaign – despite the fact he and his wife live in the state capital Potsdam – fearing the negative impact of his presence Scholz is not likely to come out of the election well “it will be seen as a result of him excluding Scholz it’ll be said this is a defeat for Scholz” The personalised campaign around Woidke, including a picture-driven fireside interview in which he talked about his pets and his playlist has the cheeky campaign slogan: “Wenn Glatze choose Woidke) – a cryptic reference to his bald head and the most physical of Nazi trademarks He has repeatedly attempted

said Across town at Chekov an alternative concert venue on the banks of the River Spree which has made clear its plans to cut art subsidies and censor cultural content that does not coincide with its

for the AfD in record numbers – were not properly aware of the dangers the party posed for German democracy Hocke talks of doing away with public broadcasting and the licence fee that funds it of stopping Germany’s military support of Ukraine and returning to fossil fuels in a rejection of climate change science He also touches on the party’s remigration project involving the mass deportation of unwanted foreigners The slogan: “Remigration – of course” is widely displayed on the mugs and stickers which are distributed to rallygoers An organising member of Chekov said he used to join protests against the far-right “but now we feel a sense of ‘What’s the point?’ We’re not going to convince AfD supporters to change their minds Chekov is concentrating its energies on hosting its own

Dynamo are two minutes short of the 2nd division Rostock send hapless Sandhausen to the regional league Cottbus no longer have promotion in their own hands David Kubatta hung in the net of the goal on the Bielefeld Alm after his unfortunate own goal 472 kilometers away in Dresden's open-air stage Junge Garde 4,000 fans sank to the ground stunned at the public viewing 120 seconds before the end of stoppage time something happened that no one wanted to believe after Bielefeld's proliferation of chances in the previous 94 minutes: the equalizer The fact that they had to concede an own goal was an additional knock-out blow for Dresden the 1:1 draw at second-placed Arminia Bielefeld gives Dynamo every chance of bagging a return to Bundesliga 2 next week at SV Waldhof Mannheim Dresden will have to do a lot of psychological rebuilding work of course," said Dynamo coach Thomas Stamm on "MagentaSport" Kubatta found the scene for the equalizer "highly unfortunate But I think that's also part of it," he said on MDR the game deserved to be called a top match Dynamo's fighting qualities were particularly in demand as Arminia's pressure was enormous at times The defense was worthy of the second

promotion ambitions - at least the relegation place - still in sight FC Hansa could be described as an all-round successful away performance "We didn't see a 3-0 win because Sandhausen were clearly better in the first half and had the better chances," said Hansa coach Daniel Brinkmann The words were clear at the break after Sandhausen had carelessly missed countless chances to take a fairly big half-time lead We did that in the second half and were able to win the game," said Brinkmann on "MagentaSport" They will now prepare well for the catch-up match against Unterhaching "Our starting position has definitely not got any worse we haven't achieved anything," emphasized the coach Energie Cottbus have said goodbye to the battle for a direct promotion place in Bundesliga 2 It wasn't a lack of willpower that led to a 2:4 (1:2) home defeat against SV Waldhof Mannheim it was a lack of luck in attack or the class of Mannheim goalkeeper Jan-Christoph Bartels And some amateurish defending by the Lusatians in the second half it was a fantastic journey," said Energie coach Claus-Dieter Wollitz on "MagentaSport" Even though his team no longer have promotion in their own hands We will build up the team," said the coach but also noted critically: "The way we conceded goals has nothing to do with top soccer in the 3rd division The error rate in defense in recent weeks was simply too high That was also the case in the first half of the season but our efficiency up front was still good," emphasized Wollitz © 2009 - 2025 DieSachsen.de | Alle Rechte vorbehalten | Entwickelt mit
