Germany's state parliament elects first far-right speaker since second world war
Original: State parliament elects Germany’s first far-right speaker since second world war
A far-right politician has been elected speaker of a German state parliament, the first time a member of a far-right party has held such a post in Germany since 1945. The election marks a historic breakthrough for the far right in postwar German politics and has drawn sharp criticism from mainstream parties and commentators.
Why now: It is a historic political milestone breaking a postwar taboo in German governance.
