AfD vows to deport undocumented migrants if it wins Saxony-Anhalt election

The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party promises to deport undocumented migrants "from the first minute" if it wins the upcoming state election in Saxony-Anhalt.

The German right-wing nationalist party presented its programme for its first 100 days in power on Saturday, ahead of the election on September 6. In opinion polls, the AfD leads the conservative CDU by almost 20 percentage points.

The AfD wants to preserve the traditional nuclear family, ban rainbow flags in schools and change history teaching to reduce the focus on Germany's guilt from the Nazi era.

To prevent young people from leaving rural areas, the party wants to offer a driver's licence subsidy of around SEK 17,000.

If the anti-immigrant and pro-Russian AfD wins, it will be the first time a right-wing nationalist party has governed a German state since World War II.
