Her remarks come as the state prepares for an election on September 6th. The debate also featured sharp exchanges on the issues of migration and internal security. Ulrich Siegmund, the AfD's top candidate, directly linked migration to crime, asserting, "We have completely driven our internal security against the wall."

In contrast, SPD candidate Armin Willingmann countered that a significant portion of the migration crisis has been resolved. He acknowledged ongoing migration but emphasized its necessity, stating, "there is migration that we urgently need."

Recent polling indicates the AfD has widened its lead over the CDU, with the party, classified as right-wing extremist, polling at 42 percent. This political backdrop highlights the urgency of public concerns regarding security and the effectiveness of the justice system.
