The editorial
Source: Vocab24 Editorial · 7 Sep 2026Today’s topic: the day's world news, “Germans vote in eastern state as far-right AfD eyes power”.

Germany occupies a singular place in the European imagination: the country that built the most elaborate constitutional defences against extremism after 1945 is now the one whose defences are being tested most publicly. That the challenge comes from the east, three and a half decades after reunification, tells a story about economics, memory and the limits of institutional design.
