The Saxon Greens want to remain in government and ensure "politics with backbone". Their party stands for a policy guided by values as a counter-image to a policy driven by fear and sentiment, said party leader Christin Furtenbacher on Tuesday in Dresden. On Friday and Saturday, the Greens' top trio for the state elections on September 1 will be confirmed in Chemnitz and a further 27 list places will be allocated. Last year, the party council had already proposed Justice Minister Katja Meier, Energy and Environment Minister Wolfram Günther and parliamentary group leader Franziska Schubert as a trio. They also appear in this order on the list.
The Greens are opposed to political stubbornness and fake news, finger-pointing, populism and sham debates that damage democratic discourse, Furtenbacher emphasized. The Greens stand for politics with backbone and a consistent stand against anti-democrats and the right. "We are running to secure stable democratic majorities." The Greens are determined to run a fair election campaign and expect a fair understanding between the democratic parties.
