CDU and CSU leaders Friedrich Merz and Markus Söder issue strong warnings about the potential success of the AfD in the state elections in Saxony and Thuringia, arguing that the party's direction would lead Germany astray.

The elections are seen as crucial, with Saxony's Prime Minister Kretschmer dubbing it a 'fateful election' and emphasizing the need for unity within the Union. A survey reveals that supporters of the Union would prefer candidates such as Wüst or Merz as chancellor.

The race between the CDU and AfD in Saxony appears to be neck and neck. Furthermore, there is a legal battle between the AfD and the Thuringian Office for the Protection of the Constitution, with a court expected to rule on the deletion of certain passages in the 2021 report.

The implications of an AfD government participation in Thuringia are seen as significant, as it could reshape key institutions and the political landscape of the state.

Merz and Söder Call for Decisions on Migration

After a knife attack in Solingen, where 3 people died and 8 were injured, Merz and Söder are calling for decisions on migration policy in the state election campaign in Saxony. They criticize that despite the attacks, nothing is being changed, and offer Scholz the support of the 197 members of the CDU/CSU parliamentary group to implement a sensible policy. The attack was carried out by a 26-year-old Syrian, who is being investigated by the Federal Prosecutor's Office for murder and membership in the ISIS. The CDU leader Merz emphasizes that the problem lies not in the knives themselves but in the people who carry them. Berlin Mayor Wegner demands consequences in asylum and immigration policy after the Solingen knife attack. The Thuringia and Saxony state elections are also being discussed, with politicians proposing measures such as weapons-free zones and increased video surveillance. The debate on migration policy is ongoing, with calls for talks with the Taliban and Assad regime on deportations, as well as the need for dialogue between political parties to address radicalization and security concerns. The Solingen attack and upcoming elections have raised questions about the effectiveness of current asylum policies and the need for stronger measures to ensure public safety.
