Saxony's state parliament president Alexander Dierks has called on citizens to stick together in the new year and spread optimism. The 38-year-old said at his New Year's reception in parliament that confidence and perseverance were needed to master the major challenges of the reform year 2026. It was about "straightening our backs" and acting together in a crucial situation.
Dierks sees an eventful and decisive year for Saxony
Dierks spoke of an eventful and decisive year for Saxony. The future is pointless without confidence. He is firmly convinced that together we can succeed in shaping the future. "It is important - especially in times like these - to distribute the burdens fairly and to paint a positive picture of the future," said the CDU politician. Only then will it be possible to take people with us on this journey. Saxony does not have its best times behind it.
