A few days before the state elections, the AfD Saxony expects to become the strongest party and thus have the mandate to form a government. "We will be the strongest party," said state chairman Jörg Urban in Dresden. The "mood" speaks for over 30 percent, "I think we will beat the CDU." The party will then put out feelers to the parties represented in the state parliament to see to what extent they are willing to cooperate.
So far, all parties in parliament have ruled out a coalition with the AfD, and the Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) alliance had also signaled that such cooperation was out of the question. Election polls in Saxony had recently seen a neck-and-neck race between the CDU and AfD. The Office for the Protection of the Constitution in Saxony classifies the AfD in the state as definitely right-wing extremist.
In the "event of a change of government", the AfD announced "immediate measures" for internal security, schools and public broadcasting. According to this, riot police at the borders should help to prevent illegal migration. Municipalities and districts should be reimbursed for additional costs in connection with migration.
