CDU leader Sven Schulze and AfD leader Ulrich Siegmund clashed over migration, with Siegmund calling for stricter policies and Schulze advocating for more immigration to address labor shortages.
The parties also discussed education, with Siegmund proposing a stronger focus on achievement in schools and Linken leader Eva von Angern calling for more funding and a secure future for school social work.
