Landtagswahl: Schuster warnt vor AfD – „Keine Annäherung an Rechtsextreme“
Bis zur Wahl in Sachsen-Anhalt sind es nur noch zehn Tage – die AfD liegt in Umfragen weit vorn. Der Zentralrat der Juden warnt mit deutlichen Worten vor der Partei.
President of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, Josef Schuster, has issued a warning ahead of the Landtagswahl in Sachsen-Anhalt regarding the AfD. "The Landtagswahl in Sachsen-Anhalt will serve as a litmus test for the democratic center of our country," he told the Redaktionenetzwerk Deutschland (RND). AfD politicians, such as party leader Ulrich Siegmund and Landes-Vize Hans-Thomas Tillschneider, are declared adversaries of the open society.
"They seek radical shifts in key policy areas, which could amount to a renunciation of our federal republican consensus, particularly in the realm of remembrance culture," Schuster said. He holds the parties of the democratic center responsible for addressing the concerns and needs of the people earnestly. "Yet, purely in terms of power calculations, no approach towards right-wing extremism is permitted – the Alternative for Germany (AfD) must not be granted any political responsibility for our liberal democracy and our open society after the election," Schuster emphasized.
The Landtagswahl in Sachsen-Anhalt is scheduled for September 6th. According to recent polls, the AfD is leading significantly.
