Far-right party targets Bauhaus legacy in German state election campaign
In Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, the far-right AfD party is campaigning ahead of a September 6 state election, promising a 'patriotic cultural policy' and an end to funding for 'anti-German art and culture'. The party has singled out the Bauhaus movement, which flourished in Dessau a century ago, as a symbol of what it opposes. The AfD is polling around 40% in the state, potentially winning an absolute majority for the first time since the Nazi era.
