Transcript
00:00The Thuringian local elections on Sunday did not see the right-wing AFD party achieve the

00:13results of 27.6%, with the AFD in third with 26.4%. But it's not over yet. The party could
00:21become the strongest force at the run-off elections. The Thuringian AFD has been classified
00:27as right-wing extremists by authorities and is currently under observation.
