  German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is in Dresden, the capital of Saxony, to meet members of the public, not long before an election in which the AfD is expected to perform strongly.

The domestic intelligence service in the eastern state of Saxony has designated the far right AfD party an extremist group. The move follows similar decisions in Thuringia and Saxony-Anhalt. The regional association of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) in Saxony has been classified as a right-wing extremist organization, the state's Office for the Protection of the Constitution (LfV) announced Friday.

Der Bundeswirtschaftsminister ist am Dienstag nach Sachsen gereist, traf sich mit Unternehmern, die unter seiner fatalen Energiepolitik seit Monaten leiden müssen. ▶︎ Am Vormittag standen Treffen u.a. mit einem Friseur, einem Töpfermeister und einem Dachdecker auf dem Plan.

Die vergangenen Tage haben Habeck sichtlich zugesetzt: Tiefe Ringe haben sich unter seine Augen gegraben, seine Stimme ist leise und kraftlos. Haben die Enthüllungen über seine Atom-Lüge den Vizekanzler schlaflose Nächte bereitet? Denn: Eine Recherche der „Welt am Sonntag“ (erscheint wie BILD bei Axel Springer) hat aufgedeckt, dass Habeck den Atom-Ausstieg gegen den ausdrücklichen Rat aus seinem eigenen Ministerium durchgepeitscht hat! AUCH INTERESSANT BILD konfrontiert den Wirtschaftsminister am Na...
