The AfD’s main candidate in the state elections in Saxony-Anhalt, Ulrich Siegmund, has formulated financial clauses to fulfill key election promises. “Not everything can be implemented at once,” Sigmund said about the ZDF Markus Lanz program. When asked about when kindergartens would become free, as promised in the election manifesto, Sigmund replied: “The moment we have the budgetary freedom to do it. As quickly as possible.”
However, as a federal state, like other federal states, we are dependent on “completely crazy decisions in Berlin.” You demonstrate a very clear long-term perspective. But the big wheel needs to be turned in Berlin. According to recent polls, the AfD party in Saxony-Anhalt gained about 40 percent, which is significantly ahead of the currently ruling CDU. The party strives for one-man government and wants to appoint a prime minister of a federal state for the first time. The new state parliament will be elected in Saxony-Anhalt on September 6.
