congress has been spurring on the assault your companies announced a series of successful disruptions that resulted in the removal of pages groups and accounts my instinct is to applaud the diligence some of your security teams and credit you with taking the problem very seriously social media giants might find it easy to declare war on an authentic activity it thinks might be going on abroad but when they know that their own government is itself using underhanded tactics to advance its agenda who knows if the same standards will apply. we've asked facebook and twitter for their reaction to this development no comment yet. the alternative for germany or a.f.d. party is celebrating the anti immigration euro skeptics came 2nd in state elections in brandenburg and saxony significantly increasing their influence in those parliaments bitter over reports from berlin. starts off in brandenburg it was
7:06 am
a win for the social democrats in a campaign that they were neck in neck with a hefty throughout the alternative for germany picking up around 23 percent of the vote there with the social democrats winning on 25 percent in saxony we saw massive gains for alternative for germany it wasn't enough for them to win the state that went to the christian democratic union anger merkel's party 2728 percent for alternative for germany in saxony could end up rising as high as 30 big gains for them there and certainly big smiles from the leadership of the alternative for germany party they were saying that these results show that it's a deep just a flush upon that they are a big part of the german political stage right now and it is a sensational results we have achieved the best result in local elections ever and we can see that 30 years after the fall of the wall governments don't want to be
7:07 am
left wing need the. the fight is not over the fight starts now we've become much stronger no one can remove us from germany politics anymore we're staying where german politics is quite keen on a bit of self reflection a bit of navel gazing and what we've seen from other politicians who have been looking at these results from alternative for germany and they're not happy about the role they've played in allowing a.f.d. to make such big games. i am happy that we have a really good result what worries me is a result in this means we continue to face big challenges in this country. we all hope for more and wished for more and i'm also disappointed like many others are disappointed no question i as the lead candidate also share responsibility for this result alters of the journey were founded as a. anti euro euro skeptic party back in 2013 but it was following the influx
7:08 am

7:09 am
alternative for germany that means you probably looking at at least a 3 party coalition in both states a well quite confluences coalition a real broad church is going to have to be put in there because of the large chunk the large proportion of the votes that alternative for germany have picked up in both the states of brandenburg and saxony here in germany. martin dolls are a hamburger and pay for the left party told us the f.d.a. is riding on the back of false promises. if he has an agenda and real that is based on centric nationalism militarism. liberalism as well as racism exclusion interest on 2 models success of the f.d.a. is warning but it's also hopefully the government's this happens on the fundamental of the last 30 years of german politics 30 years of your liberalism is politics destroyed the humans problem and at least of the german society and the left.
