MEP Hayer on the election results in Saxony-Anhalt: The electoral success of the far-right, nostalgic for the Third Reich, advocating for closer ties with #Russia, and opposing European integration, in one of the largest European countries, represents an extremely serious threat to our democracies. But emotions and condemnation alone are not enough – this is not a political response. Every day, Europeans are increasingly turning to populist forces, and the reasons for this are well known.
