After the defeat in the state elections, the leadership duo of the Saxon Greens are visibly disappointed. "It is not an easy day for us after the election and we cannot be satisfied with our result," said co-chair Marie Müser. They had "fought for a much better result". "In this overall situation, we Greens did not succeed well enough in getting through with our issues and goals." According to the preliminary results, the Greens achieved 5.1 percent.
Many voters were driven by fear of the AfD as the strongest force, said Müser. Climate and environmental protection played a subordinate role. However, the party wants to continue to shape Saxon state politics with its content. "We are the only force in the state that clearly cares about climate and environmental protection, even if you can't win a flower pot with this topic right now," said Müser.
