The AfD's success in the European elections was particularly notable in Thuringia, a region in eastern Germany. Editorial Network Germany reported on Bodo Ramelow's concerns about the widening divide between East and West regions in Germany, echoing the sentiment that the divide was evident during the European elections. The state parliamentary elections in Thuringia, Saxony, and Brandenburg are scheduled for September, and it will be interesting to see if the divide continues to widen or if there are efforts to bridge it. In Erfurt, the capital city of Thuringia, Ramelow serves as the state's premier, representing the Left party. The AfD, on the other hand, is a right-wing party that has gained significant traction in East Germany and in Germany as a whole, participating in the EU political sphere as well.
