In episode 49, hosts Gilda and Arne analyze the election of AfD candidate Tobias Rausch as Landtagspräsident in Saxony-Anhalt, marking the first right-wing extremist parliamentary majority since WWII. They discuss how CDU and BSW defections enabled this outcome, signaling a potential authoritarian government under Ulrich Siegmund. The episode features an interview with correspondent Niklas Ottersbach on the normalization of extremism and the vacuum in state leadership, while also addressing the podcast's shift to a membership-only model.
