萨克森-安哈尔特州新议会召开，AfD提名人选冲击议长职位

德国东部州萨克森-安哈尔特州新议会于10月6日召开首次会议1。极右翼政党德国选择党（AfD）在9月举行的州选举中获得近44%的选票，成为议会第一大党团，拥有39个议席1。议会当日将进行投票选举议长，AfD提名的35岁议员托比亚斯·劳什成为焦点人物1。

民粹党BSW拥有5个议席，已承诺支持劳什的议长提名1。若劳什当选，他将成为德国历史上首位州级议会的AfD议长1。然而，其他所有政党根据"防火墙"政策拒绝与AfD合作1。CDU州主席建议党内成员在投票中弃权1。民间团体计划举行抗议活动1。

The newly elected parliament of Germany's Saxony-Anhalt held its inaugural session on October 6, with lawmakers set to vote on a speaker position at the center of political tensions 1. The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) emerged as the largest parliamentary faction from September elections, securing nearly 44 percent of the vote and 39 seats 1. The party has nominated 35-year-old member Tobias Rausch as its candidate for speaker, a position that would make him the first AfD speaker in any German state parliament if elected 1.

Rausch's candidacy has secured backing from the populist BSW party, which holds five seats and has committed to supporting the nomination 1. All other parliamentary parties have refused to cooperate with the AfD under a so-called "firewall" policy, with the CDU state chairman reportedly advising party members to abstain during the vote 1. The legislative session is expected to draw protests from civil society organizations opposed to the AfD's political rise 1.
