Saxony's CDU Minister-President, Michael Kretschmer, categorically rejects cooperation with the AfD, stating that they have become radicalized and sees Saxony as its main enemy. Recent polls show the AfD at 32% and CDU at 29% in Saxony.
Kretschmer highlights that the AfD promotes hate and has a backward image of women, migrants, and people with disabilities, and should not be allowed to assume responsibility. State elections are scheduled in Saxony, Brandenburg, and Thuringia in September.
Kretschmer calls for a 'migration peace' and criticizes the federal government for arms exports. He aims to strengthen integration capacities and curb irregular migration.
Kretschmer emphasizes the need for investment in Europe's security through economic strength and diplomacy. He also stresses the importance of strengthening the security of the Baltic states, Poland, Ukraine, and Romania.
The AfD's recent rise in popularity in Saxony raises concerns ahead of the state elections, where they are aiming for 40% or more support.
