A campaign stand for the BSW (Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht) in Magdeburg was attacked on Thursday afternoon. [^1]

On Sunday, 1.7 million voters will participate in the state election in Saxony-Anhalt, where the far-right AfD party could potentially gain power for the first time since World War II. [^2]

A police spokesperson stated that no individuals were approached during the attack on the BSW campaign stand in Magdeburg. [^3]

Police are currently investigating the background of the attack and have identified a suspect. [^4]

The BSW reported that the campaign stand was almost completely destroyed during the attack. [^5]

A large counter-demonstration against the AfD is scheduled for Saturday, organized by the alliance 'Sachsen-Anhalt Open to the World,' which consists of 300 associations including clubs, unions, and churches. [^6]

In the last week, 150 immigrant-owned businesses in Magdeburg closed for one day to protest against what they call an increasingly hostile climate, fearing they cannot stay if the AfD wins. [^7]

Recent polls show the AfD leading with over 40 percent of the vote, but if several small parties fail to meet the five percent threshold, the AfD could suddenly hold an absolute majority. [^8]
