Far-right Alternative For Germany party set for shock election win

The eastern German regions of Saxony and Thuringia are holding elections this coming Sunday and the far-right AfD party is ahead in the polls.

If they win power, they are vowing to implement "zero immigration" and a deleterious atmosphere for those who are already in Germany and well integrated. Some 37,000 Syrians are currently in Saxony, with almost 55,000 in Thuringia. As anti-immigrant sentiment grows in Germany, with towns complaining that capacity is already overstretched, some refugees are wondering if they are still welcome.
