Amplifying an image of electoral chaos in Saxony-Anhalt

What it claims

Police planning for scenarios ahead of the election in Saxony-Anhalt is inflated into a picture in which every voting outcome leads to clashes or allegations of fraud. An information campaign concerning an AfD politician is portrayed as persecution of the opposition. Public spending on Ukraine, climate measures and borrowing are reduced to proof that the government is acting against the country.

Target audience

Examples (paraphrased)

We paraphrase rather than quote: propaganda's exact wording is built to spread, so we carry the claim and not the craft. Each example cites the post it came from.

• An AfD victory, defeat or draw in the Saxony-Anhalt election could end in clashes and disruptions at polling stations.

Goal

To deepen distrust of the electoral process and state institutions among people in Germany dissatisfied with government policy by linking pre-election developments to an image of systemic crisis.

Techniques used

• Appeal to Fear / PrejudiceElection scenarios are described as likely to end in clashes, attacks or disruptions to voting.
• DoubtA critical information campaign concerning an AfD politician is labelled as pressure by the authorities on the opposition.

The real grievance it exploits

The narrative exploits concerns about public spending, debt and climate policy, as well as a sense that political institutions do not listen to criticism.

How to counter

• Technique exposure: Police preparedness plans and critical coverage do not determine an election result. Before sharing predictions of chaos, separate the source, date and original reporting from their emotional interpretation.
