German Chancellor Olaf Scholz regrets the far-right AfD's success in two regional elections, urging mainstream parties to work together against "right-wing extremists". Although the AfD made historic gains, coalition-building challenges may prevent them from governing effectively. Scholz emphasized the damaging impact of the AfD's nationalist and anti-migration stance on Germany's economy and society. With the national election approaching, the results signal potential trouble for Scholz's coalition.
