Calls to reject far-right AfD party after victory in eastern Germany | BBC News
The German chancellor Olaf Scholz has urged mainstream parties not to lend support for Alternative for Germany (AfD), the first far-right party projected to win a state election since the second world war.
The AfD won almost a third of the vote in the eastern state of Thuringia – putting the party nine points ahead of the conservative CDU, and far in front of Germany’s three governing parties.
The AfD’s top candidate in Thuringia, Björn Höcke, who is a highly controversial figure in Germany, hailed a “historic victory” and spoke of his great pride. He failed to win a direct mandate for the state parliament, but secured a seat because he was top of his party list.
Mr Höcke’s party has been designated as right-wing extremist and he has been fined for using a Nazi slogan, although the former history teacher denies knowingly doing so.
The result gives the far right its first win in a state parliament election since World War Two, although it has little hope of forming a government in Thuringia because other parties are unlikely to work with it.

Keir Starmer’s rival, Andy Burnham, has made significant progress towards ousting him as prime minister after winning the Makerfield by-election with a thumping majority.
It means the former mayor of Manchester can now launch a challenge for the leadership of the country.
He said the by-election result was a vote for change and “could be a turning point” in British politics.
