Big changes could be coming to Germany this weekend. A far-right party called the AfD is expected to do very well in local state elections in the eastern part of the country.

Many people are watching this closely. Some groups, especially minorities, are worried about what a win for this party would mean for their future. They fear the party’s message could make their lives harder or less safe.

The AfD has been gaining a lot of support lately. They have even started targeting famous places, like the Bauhaus school of design, to spread their message. This shows how aggressive they are being to win over voters.

The two main political figures, Angela Merkel and Friedrich Merz, are being blamed by some for losing the trust of people in eastern Germany. Experts say that even if their own parties do okay on Sunday, they have already lost a lot of ground.

People are calling this a turning point for Germany. Some experts even say something "alarming" is about to happen. Political analysts think that no matter what the final numbers look like, the way politics works in Germany has been changed for good.

We will be watching the results closely to see how this impacts the country.
