State parliament elects Germany’s first far-right speaker since second world war

Tobias Rausch secures role of president in Saxony-Anhalt after AfD’s election breakthrough Europe live – latest updates Alternative für Deutschland has become Germany’s first far-right party to secure the position of speaker of a regional parliament since the second world war.

What the coverage shows

Both outlets frame the story around Germany’s first far-right figure to hold a state parliament speaker or president role since 1945, with The Guardian US and the New York Times both tying it to the Alternative for Germany’s breakthrough. The Guardian US names Tobias Rausch and says he secures the role in Saxony-Anhalt, while the New York Times focuses more broadly on AfD’s place overseeing a state legislature and is the only one to mention the party’s election last month.
