AfD's Saxony-Anhalt manifesto unveils deportations, remigration and Russia ties

Germany’s far-right AfD in Saxony-Anhalt presented a 150-page manifesto proposing sweeping changes to migration, education, welfare and energy policy, including a hard shift toward deportations and a concept of “remigration” that would target Ukrainian refugees; it also urges lifting sanctions on Russia and offering free Russian language lessons. The plan signals a dramatic pivot for the party ahead of September state elections, though any changes would require federal approval, and polls show the AfD gaining ground in both eastern and parts of western Germany.

Polls show strong regional support (around 40%), which could let the party govern Saxony-Anhalt for the first time, though the platform faces potential constitutional challenges and would significantly reshape state policy if enacted.

"Neolithic Burial Mounds Unearthed at Future Intel Site in Germany"

Archaeologists have discovered prehistoric burial mounds, including those associated with the Baalberg and Globular Amphora cultures, at a site in Germany where Intel plans to build semiconductor factories. The mounds, dating back 6,000 years, contain wooden grave chambers with multiple burials, and evidence suggests a consistent ritual use of the site over a long period of time. The findings shed light on the Neolithic period and provide insight into the burial practices and cultural significance of the area.
