Saxony-Anhalt after the election: Schulze: dual role justifiable for a foreseeable period
After the CDU defeat, Prime Minister Schulze comments on the loss of trust in the Union among the population and on his dual role. How does he want to deal with AfD applications in the state parliament in the future?
Saxon-Anhalt's Minister President Sven Schulze defended his bid for the CDU faction chair in the state parliament, saying many had asked him to take on responsibility in a potential opposition. Schulze secured the CDU faction chair in a runoff vote two days after the election defeat, where the AfD came ahead of the CDU. He plans to regain trust step by step, acknowledging the party's poor nationwide ratings and vowing to work hard to win back public trust.
Schulze dismissed talks with other parties, citing a clear resolution to see the CDU as opposition, and announced a constructive opposition effort, promising to present own proposals and critically evaluate AfD motions.
