Saxony-Anhalt: "The hand is outstretched" - This is how Siegmund's AfD wants to govern
Before the election, Ulrich Siegmund wanted to run as Minister-President only with an absolute majority. After the AfD victory, a change in strategy is emerging: He is looking for partners.
Ulrich Siegmund, alongside AfD leaders Tino Chrupalla and Alice Weidel, has reaffirmed the party's claim to govern in Saxony-Anhalt at a press conference in Berlin. Siegmund had previously stated he would only run for Minister-President if the AfD achieved an absolute majority, but this was not achieved. He now says he is open to talks with all parties and factions, including the BSW, to form a "stable majority". Siegmund's change in strategy appears to be a response to the election results.
