The CDU is placing a strong focus on security policy in its campaign for the state election. "Our promise is: With the Saxon Union, law and order will be enforced," said Alexander Dierks, Secretary General of the CDU Saxony, at the presentation of the campaign.
This includes limiting irregular migration, which the CDU wants to achieve primarily through border controls. Dierks said that they had reached out to the federal government on this issue, but it had not budged. "We are prepared to go our own Saxon way."
In the view of the Christian Democrats, this should consist of a border police force based on the Bavarian model. In addition, the number of citizen police officers should be doubled to ensure greater security and responsiveness, particularly in rural areas.
