Machill to head Saxon BSW list for Bundestag

Zimmermann: People are afraid of losing their jobs again

Zimmermann also commented on expectations of a new federal government. People want change, he said, and the pressure is palpable. "Above all, we need a new economic policy. It can't go on like this," said the party chairwoman. The energy policy had caused severe damage to companies. "People are once again afraid of losing their jobs. It's like déjà vu from the 1990s."

A different asylum policy called for

The BSW chairwoman from Saxony also called for a different asylum policy. Irregular migration must finally be combated with effective measures, she said. Migration is also a social issue. It is about providing people with appropriate accommodation and care. The local population should not suffer any disadvantages as a result of migration.

Not least, the issue of peace will also play a role for the BSW in the election campaign, said Zimmermann. This is why her party rejects further arms deliveries to Ukraine. The costs would be borne by the local population and the money would be used for other things in Germany. Under no circumstances should Taurus cruise missiles be delivered, otherwise Germany would be dragged into the war.
