The Alternative for Germany (AfD) wins in Saxony-Anhalt and the party’s growing influence leave many Turkish residents in eastern Germany anxious about what the result means for their lives. DW reports that people of Turkish origin are concerned about the region becoming more hostile toward minorities and about whether economic opportunities will change as attitudes toward immigration and integration shift.
The reporting frames the anxiety around potential practical consequences. Some Turkish workers and business owners fear that discrimination or a less welcoming environment could affect day-to-day life and business prospects. The story also highlights a broader worry about internal migration—whether people may consider moving from eastern states that appear increasingly AfD-friendly toward western regions perceived as more receptive.
