  • For the state election on 6 September, Campact recommends the second vote for the SPD or Greens to secure their entry and make an AfD majority of seats less likely.

  • The Pollytix poll commissioned by Campact and conducted among 2,604 people projects 43 percent for the AfD, 23 percent for the CDU, 13 percent for the Left, seven percent for the SPD, five percent for the Greens and four percent for the BSW.

  • If the SPD and Greens fail to clear the five-percent threshold, Campact says around 10 percent of votes would be excluded, potentially giving the AfD an absolute majority of seats.

  • Campact plans to spend about 620,000 euros on the campaign, including 13,000 posters, while the SPD and Greens would formally report the accepted support as party donations of 310,000 euros each.
  • For the first time, a right-wing extremist party in a federal state could win the majority of seats and thus also appoint the minister-president.
    — Felix Kolb, Campact CEO, warned about a potential AfD single-party government in Saxony-Anhalt.

  • BVG demanded an immediate stop to the advertising campaign of 'Nius' on its surfaces following the release of an unauthorized, inappropriate ad image on social media.

  • The disputed image was not approved by BVG and falsely suggested it was part of the official campaign inside Berlin’s subway system.

  • Over 133,000 people signed a petition opposing the ads, condemning them as right-wing populist and discriminatory.

  • Berlin’s Queer Commissioner welcomed the termination, stressing that public transit must not serve as a venue for hate speech and societal division.
  • Nice that we now live in a country where state-owned corporations decide what the 'limits of permissible freedom of expression' are. We live in a madhouse and are considering legal action against the totalitarian state corporation.
