German defense officials are weighing procedural measures to bar regional administrations from accessing confidential national and NATO defense plans if the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) enters government following state elections, Bloomberg reported. The security contingency discussions were prompted by regional voting in the eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt, where the AfD secured 44% of the vote, capturing 39 of 83 seats in the state parliament and falling just three seats short of an outright majority.JOIN US ON TELEGRAMFollow our coverage of the war on the @Kyivpost_official. Defense Minister Boris Pistorius aims to ensure that any state administration led or influenced by the pro-Russian AfD would be legally and operationally prevented from accessing sensitive defense documentation that could be shared with Moscow. At the center of the security review is Germany’s Operational Plan (OPLAN), a confidential, 1,000-page defense blueprint drafted by German authorities alongside NATO planners. The document coordinates joint defense responses, military mobility, and emergency protocols between federal authorities and regional governments during a conventional military crisis or allied defense emergency. According to an insider familiar with the discussions, Pistorius outlined the security initiatives during a closed-door consultation with defense policy experts from governing coalition parliamentary groups. German defense planners operate under the working assumption that OPLAN protocols could be activated in the event of open escalation between NATO and Russia.
