State election in Thuringia: Protests and Personal Insights

The state election in Thuringia is marked by protests and personal insights from AfD candidates Björn Höcke and Jörg Urban. In Erfurt, Höcke relies on radical demands and right-wing extremism, while also sharing personal details about his family.

However, his leadership within the AfD is being criticized. In Jena, protests prevented Höcke's appearance, with demonstrators expressing their opposition to his political views.

The AfD's strong position in the polls raises concerns, but a government coalition involving the party seems unlikely. Meanwhile, Urban, the AfD's lead candidate in Saxony, hopes to become the next Minister-President and strengthen the party's position.

However, his controversial past and connections to right-wing movements raise concerns. The upcoming elections in Thuringia and Saxony will determine the future political landscape in these states.

Businesses also join the conversation, with some launching a campaign against right-wing extremism and promoting diversity. The rise of the AfD poses a potential threat to the economy, according to some experts.

The outcome of the elections will have a significant impact on the direction of these states and their policies.
