The association Wirtschaft für ein weltoffenes Sachsen is concerned about the AfD's electoral success among young people. The fact that many 18 to 29-year-olds have followed the populists, who are endangering democracy, justice and prosperity, is really worrying, said board spokesman Robert Czajkowski in Dresden. "These are the people who will shape our future here, these are the people who will certainly be largely responsible for the further development of this federal state."
Saxony had, however, "got off lightly once again", said Czajkowski. The AfD had failed to achieve a blocking minority in the state parliament and would probably not form a government or receive a ministerial office.
