AfD Presents 100-Day Plan, Vows to Govern Saxony-Anhalt

The Alternative for Germany (AfD) party has reiterated its goal of forming a government in the state of Saxony-Anhalt, with just two months remaining until the state election. At a state party conference in Magdeburg, lead candidate Ulrich Siegmund presented a "100-day program" detailing immediate actions the AfD would take if it assumes power.

“

We want to turn the tide to create the historical sensation.

Siegmund accused rival parties of attempting to sabotage the AfD's efforts, stating they are "panicked by the prospect of us governing." He expressed confidence that the AfD would secure a governing majority after the September 6th election, a sentiment echoed by state chairman Martin Reichardt, who declared, "The goal is the State Chancellery."

Reichardt also criticized incumbent Minister-President Sven Schulze (CDU), accusing him of lying about ruling out cooperation with The Left party. Reichardt argued that Schulze cannot achieve any majority without The Left's support.

“

They have panicked fear that we will govern.

The AfD, which has been classified as extremist by the state's domestic intelligence agency, had previously adopted a government program in April. Siegmund's 100-day plan includes several immediate policy proposals. Key among these are the termination of the media state treaty, which governs public broadcasting in Germany, and the expansion of detention facilities for deportations. The plan also calls for mandatory work for asylum seekers, special classes for children of parents without secure residency status, the abolition of one or two ministries, and the establishment of a Corona investigative committee.

“

The goal is the State Chancellery.

Recent polls indicate the AfD holds a significant lead over the ruling CDU party in Saxony-Anhalt. A May survey for Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk (MDR) showed the AfD at 41 percent, compared to the CDU's 26 percent. Schulze currently leads a coalition government comprising the CDU, SPD, and FDP.

Because without the Left, Mr. Schulze has no chance of any majority whatsoever.
