AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoSaxony-Anhalt Election: German voters went to the polls Sunday in Saxony-Anhalt, where the far-right AfD is polling above 40% and could win an unprecedented first state government since WWII; the key question is whether smaller parties clear the 5% threshold, since the usual “firewall” against cooperating with AfD may leave it only a path to power via an absolute majority. Security & Sabotage: Germany is preparing a broad anti-drone and anti-sabotage package after a failed Leipzig airport drone attack, including expanded mobile drone defenses, stronger powers for critical infrastructure operators, and a proposed “cyberdome” for digital attack detection. Industry & Innovation: Germany’s chemical and pharma sector says it wants to innovate out of the crisis, but more R&D is shifting abroad as firms cite an uncompetitive domestic location. Space Race: Isar Aerospace successfully launched its Spectrum rocket into orbit from Norway, a major step toward independent European access to space. Economy Watch: New data shows Germany’s growth is slowly improving, with GDP rising modestly in 2026 after a weak 2025.
