AfD ten votação recorde
O partido de ultradireita Alternativa para a Alemanha (AfD) obteve neste domingo (06/09) uma votação recorde de 44% dos votos na eleição do estado da Saxônia-Anhalt, no leste do país, segundo resultados provisórios.
Se confirmada no resultado final, essa será a maior votação proporcional já recebida num estado alemão por uma legenda tão à direita como a AfD desde o fim da Segunda Guerra Mundial (1939-1945).
A porcentagem coloca o partido no estado bem à frente de legendas tradicionais, especialmente a União Democrata-Cristã (CDU), a sigla do chanceler federal Friedrich Merz, que amargou apenas 17,2% – uma queda de 20 pontos em relação ao último pleito no estado, em 2021.
Já a AfD mais que dobrou os 20,8% de votos obtidos pela legenda no pleito estadual anterior, tendo crescido entre todos os grupos de eleitores da Saxônia-Anhalt, com uma votação especialmente acentuada entre homens e trabalhadores braçais, mas também ampliando seu espaço entre mulheres e jovens. O comparecimento eleitoral no estado também foi alto, de 77,7%, segundo as autoridades eleitorais.
Após a divulgação das primeiras projeções, o candidato da AfD ao posto de governador da Saxônia-Anhalt, Ulrich Siegmund, disse à emissora pública ARD que o partido "fez história" e que espera que o partido assuma o governo estadual. Os eleitores, afirmou ele, enviaram um sinal de que "as coisas não podem continuar assim".
"Nossa visão para 2026 se tornou realidade", disse Siegmund em seu discurso de vitória em Magdeburg. "Vamos recuperar nosso país, e estamos começando pela Saxônia-Anhalt. As pessoas deste país estão depositando sua confiança em nós. Não as decepcionaremos", disse Siegmund. "Não nos tornaremos como esses outros partidos. Nós somos a Alternativa para a Alemanha", acrescentou.
O resultado "também um sinal para Berlim", avaliou Siegmund, mencionando a impopularidade do conservador Merz à frente do governo federal alemão. "Friedrich Merz foi um excelente cabo eleitoral para nós nesta campanha", ironizou o candidato.
Esse também é o melhor resultado estadual já obtido pela AfD desde a sua fundação, em 2013, ultrapassando o recorde anterior de 32,8% obtido no pleito do estado vizinho da Turíngia em 2024.
Apesar do tom triunfal da AfD, as porcentagens indicadas nas projeções ainda deixam em aberto se o partido de ultradireita vai efetivamente governar o Estado de pouco mais de dois milhões de habitantes.

Mamdani hands symbolic 9/11 pen to lawyer who once represented al-Qaeda terrorist
New York Post
Mayor Zohran Mamdani signed an executive order recognizing 9/11 Friday — and then gave the symbolic pen to his controversial aide who once represented an al-Qaeda terrorist with links to the attack on the Pentagon.
Administration officials were gathered at City Hall for a pair of executive orders — ahead of the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks — one establishing a Day of Remembrance and another beefing up security against future terror threats.
After Mamdani signed the last of the documents, Hizzoner gave Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch the ceremonial pen, and whispered, “Can you pass this?”
Tisch awkwardly handed it to Mamdani’s chief counsel, Ramzi Kassem, who just snuck into the press conference, before she hurried out of the Blue Room — the first official to exit the press conference.
“It was calculated,” retired detective and adjunct professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice Michael Alcazar told The Post.
“It happened during a ceremony meant to be about the victims, and no one else. 9/11 families didn’t come to City Hall to watch Mamdani spotlight someone whose work intersects with the very ideology that took their loved ones. Commissioner Jessica Tisch was reduced to a prop rather than acknowledging her role as the leader of the NYPD.”
Kassem, a lawyer who famously represented al-Qaeda operative Ahmed al-Darbi, is seen on video smirking as he receives the symbolic pen
“How can you defend a guy like that who wants to do Americans or any innocent person harm?”
“The families who lost loved ones on 9/11 have every right to be outraged. On the 25th anniversary, City Hall should be honoring their sacrifice with dignity, not forcing those families to endure yet another insult.”
Al-Darbi was sent to Guantánamo Bay after he was convicted of terrorism in the 2002 bombing of a French oil tanker in the Middle East — part of an al Qaeda plot to attack the global oil trade after 9/11. His sister married Khalid al-Mihdhar, one of the 9/11 hijackers of the plane that crashed into the Pentagon.
The 48-year-old Kassem, who founded a legal clinic at CUNY that offers free legal representation to Muslims, also defended Mahmoud Khalil, a leader of the pro-Palestinian encampment at Columbia who was detained by ICE.
The controversial lawyer and top Mamdani aide wasn’t present during the press conference until the very end, when he snuck in some 15 minutes late — and made a quick exit, right behind Tisch.
The mayor’s office told The Post that Kassem was present at the ceremony because the al Qaeda-defending lawyer and his team wrote both 9/11 executive orders as part of his duties as chief counsel.
Ramzi Kassem said he was inspired by 9/11 — not to join the fight against terrorism, but to defend the terrorists themselves. He doesn’t even belong in this country, much less in our government,” seethed Council Member Vicki Paladino (R-Queens).
“His participation in anything related to 9/11 is an insult to every New Yorker who survived that day, and indeed all Americans. But I suspect that’s the point.
“Was it deliberate on your part to give your Muslim base a hint that this is all BS to pacify other New Yorkers?” former Democratic political consultant David Sivella blasted on X.
Kassem did not immediately return The Post’s request for comment.

Fact Check: Birmingham City Council has not sought an outright national flag ban

A city council in Britain has sought a legal order to prohibit unauthorised flags and banners from being fixed near roads, not an outright ban of the national flag.
Social media posts linked the decision to a photo showing some ethnic-minority councillors elected to Birmingham City Council.
"Birmingham City council in the UK have just pushed to ban the national flag," said an August 29 post
Opens new tab on Facebook. "Can any one think why? This is why you can’t trust these people. They do not respect other cultures. They only want to push their own agenda."
A post, opens new tab sharing the same photo on X received 1.5 million views.
Comments underneath the post suggest some believed the authority was pushing for an outright flag ban and that the photo is representative of all the authority's councillors.
"When a country’s own flag is outlawed on its own soil, what does that mean? It’s no longer your land. You’ve been conquered," said
Another said:"Looking at that lineup, the irony is hard to miss. A council largely composed of immigrant families deciding which symbols define the nation."
However, Birmingham City Council said in an online statement
"We are not stopping people flying flags on their property," a Birmingham City Council spokesperson said in an email.
The 40 people pictured in the social media post's photo montage are all listed as councillor on Birmingham City Council's website.
But the council website says it has 101 councillors. Reuters found images , opens new tab
of the other 61 people are missing from the social media post.Fixing items such as flags on highways or street furniture is an offence under Section 132 of the 1980 Highways Act .
Fixing items such as flags on highways or street furniture is an offence under Section 132 of the 1980 Highways Act, which says local authorities have a statutory duty to “maintain" the highways under their control. The act also says the relevant authority is allowed to remove any items that have been fixed without getting prior consent.
The British government's guide to flying flags says any national flag - including the Union Jack and St George's Cross - does not require planning consent to be displayed, providing you have permission of the landowner, which includes the highways authority if you want to place it next to a road.
VERDICT
Misleading. Birmingham City Council is seeking to prohibit the fixing of unauthorised flags nearhighways, not instigate an outright ban. The social media post's montage is not representative of all the authority's 101 councillors. This article was produced by the Reuters Fact Check team.
