Germany's far-right AfD says 'democracy demands' parties work with them after state election win

A political party in Germany, called AfD, won an important election in one German state. This party is known as "far-right." They got many votes from the people in that state. However, they did not get enough votes to rule the state by themselves. They needed three more seats in the government to have a full majority and make all the decisions alone.

Now, the AfD wants other political parties to work together with them. They say that democracy means that different parties must talk and find ways to cooperate. They believe that when people vote, they show what they want, and all elected parties should try to form a strong government together. They feel it is important for everyone to work for the good of the state, respecting the votes that were cast.

Usually, other main parties in Germany do not want to work with the AfD. They have different ideas and policies. But the AfD thinks that after this election, this idea must change. They argue that because they won so many votes, other parties should now consider forming a government with them. They say it is necessary to move forward and govern the state effectively.
