Local governments - Göring-Eckardt views Thuringia's elections as a ray of hope.
The AfD is once again contesting in various elections and has made significant progress in district councils and city councils across different areas. This could make it more challenging to form cooperative majority governments in numerous communities. Additionally, the fact that a neo-Nazi reached the run-off phase for the county council chairman position in Hildburghausen highlights the threats to democracy. "Those who so brazenly disparage our democracy and our nation shouldn't be allowed to hold public office," she cautioned.
