The far‑right Alternative for Germany has outlined bold measures, including the possibility of revoking residency for certain groups, should it secure a governing majority in Saxony‑Anhalt. The Local highlighted these promises as part of the party’s election campaign and asked a specialist to gauge their feasibility under German law.

The expert warned that many of the proposals would clash with constitutional protections and existing EU regulations, meaning the AfD would encounter significant legal challenges. While the party could influence policy direction, the scope for implementing its more radical ideas is expected to be limited.
