The political landscape in Germany was marked by significant focus on the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. Several German states are treating the AfD as a potential threat to the constitution, though a court decision has created uncertainty about this surveillance. The party's strength was indicated by polling around 30% in some wealthy areas of Baden-Württemberg. Internally, the party faced disputes, including a leaked document causing a scandal at a North Rhine-Westphalia leadership meeting and a defense of hiring a footballer for a parliamentary office job. During a local election campaign in Rosenheim, a candidate named Maurer was reportedly injured in an altercation at a campaign stand.
In Frankfurt, a local election saw the departure of long-serving official Albrecht Fribolin after 46 years on a district council. The city's left-wing political majority is preparing to pass the municipal budget. In a separate legal matter, a court in Berlin sentenced an Islamist to 13 years in prison for a knife attack at the city's Holocaust memorial, the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe.
