France’s Marine Le Pen stays silent on far-right victory in German election

French politician Marine Le Pen has not commented on the far-right victory in Saxony-Anhalt, where the AfD is attempting to establish its first state government as a policy lab. The AfD victory marks the first time a far-right party has secured a state premiership in Germany, though the hard left currently holds the key to forming that government. The party's rise is linked to messaging that mirrors Vladimir Putin, raising questions about the future of German support for Ukraine.
