State election in Saxony-Anhalt: Schulze and Siegmund in duel – asylum, school and debt

CDU leader Sven Schulze and AfD leader Ulrich Siegmund engaged in a heated debate ahead of the Saxony-Anhalt state election on September 6. They discussed topics including economy, migration, education, and finances, with Siegmund advocating for stricter migration policies and Schulze emphasizing the need for immigration to address labor shortages.

The AfD is currently leading in polls, but a government formation may be challenging due to the likely absence of an absolute majority. Siegmund aims for an AfD single-party government, while Schulze seeks to prevent an absolute majority for any one party.
