German govt may withhold classified info from states if far-right start winning

Germany's Defence Minister Boris Pistorius has indicated that the federal government might restrict the sharing of classified information with state administrations if they are led by the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. The AfD has faced criticism for its perceived closeness to Russia and could potentially gain an absolute majority in the upcoming state election in Saxony-Anhalt, which would mark its first formation of a state government. Under Germany's federal structure, state governments hold significant authority over local police and intelligence operations. Recently, the AfD re-elected its co-leaders, Alice Weidel and Tino Chrupalla, despite efforts by protesters to disrupt their national convention.
