Saxon CDU member of parliament Yvonne Magwas is retiring from politics. She is currently Deputy President of Parliament. In a personal statement, the 44-year-old announced that she would not be running for the Bundestag again in 2025. She made this decision, which was not easy for her, together with her family.
In her statement, Magwas also referred to the current situation - especially in her home state. "It is also true that the social climate has become considerably harsher in recent years, especially in Saxony (...) People are lying, discrediting, inciting; democracy and its institutions are being attacked by the AfD, Freie Sachsen, III. Weg, NPD and what they are all called, day after day and systematically questioned with the aim of abolishing them."
