The day was dominated by the AfD's historic victory in the Saxony-Anhalt regional elections, with exit polls and projections showing 44.2-44.5% of the vote, a record turnout, and the CDU collapsing to around 18%. Coverage across outlets highlighted the far-right party's triumph, with leader Siegmund declaring 'we made history,' though doubts persisted about forming a government. The story led from the afternoon onward, overshadowing earlier news. In the morning, the focus was on the Ukraine truce and US envoys' arrival in Kyiv, with Lavrov's warning that German drone accusations signal 'the beginning of a real war.' The Monza Grand Prix saw Kimi Antonelli's historic win from 19th place, the first Italian victory in 60 years, but this was relegated to secondary status as the election results emerged. A rally accident in Trapani killing two spectators also received attention.
