A Neo-Nazi Candidate Could Win a German Mayoral Election on Sunday
NYT > World News·Sunday, 7 June 2026
In a small town in eastern Germany, a candidate from a neo-Nazi party has made it to the final runoff for mayor. This would be the first time since World War II that such a candidate has a real shot at winning a local government position in Germany. The vote happens this Sunday.
Why It Matters
Germany has strict laws against Nazi ideology precisely because of its history — so a neo-Nazi reaching this point is a serious warning sign about how far-right politics have crept into mainstream Europe.
