German reservists seek to shield war plan from AfD in Sachsen-Anhalt
Germany's Reservistenverband is moving to prevent a potential AfD-led government in Sachsen-Anhalt from accessing the classified 'Operationsplan Deutschland' war scenario, fearing it could be leaked to Russia. This marks an unusual step by a military association to preemptively restrict a political party's access to sensitive defense information, reflecting heightened concerns about domestic political interference and espionage. The plan's existence and the association's stance are confirmed, but the likelihood of an AfD government and the actual risk of leakage remain uncertain.
