While this is very bad, it should be noted that the state in question has a population of just 2 million, few votes in the Bundestag, and has been AfD central for years.
This was in large part a huge fuck you to the CDU and Merz. With a bit of luck Merz will be forced to resign, he’s already said he’s not but if anything that shows how weak his position is, and AfD will do less well in coming elections.
Obviously, this is also part of Russian hybrid warfare, and some have become lost to propaganda.
