The far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) is leading in polls ahead of Saxony-Anhalt state elections, advocating for a more positive view of German history and less focus on Nazi crimes. The party describes Germany's "memory culture" as a "guilt complex" and plans to change history education, raise German flags daily at schools, and preserve war memorials. Other parties refuse to form a coalition with the AfD, which has been classified as right-wing extremist in several states.
