In the lead-up to the upcoming 2025 Bundestag election, a recent development has come to light regarding the AfD in Sachsen-Anhalt. A senior figure close to Russian President Putin is reportedly supporting the AfD party ahead of the state election. The source highlights that while 47% of SPD voters are critical of the party's leadership, only 20% back them.
This discontent has manifested in recent protests against the SPD's direction, particularly concerning plans to abolish the "pension at 63" policy. The AfD leader emphasized his belief that democratic forces will prevail and there will be no AfD Minister-President. However, he stressed that hard work is required to achieve this.
The CDU's new faction president, Thorsten Frei, has suggested Catarina dos Santos-Wintz as a potential successor to Steffen Bilger, who was appointed as Transport Minister. Frei praised dos Santos-Wintz, a 32-year-old lawyer, as a strong candidate for the role, noting her effectiveness and network-building abilities. Born in Lisbon, Portugal, dos Santos-Wintz is already a Bundestag member from the CDU's Aachen constituency and a member of the party's Elders' Council.
Frei highlighted her extensive experience, convincing execution of tasks, and a balanced and collegial approach as key strengths.
