  "account": "On September 6th, Sven Schulze plans to strut his stuff during the Landtag elections in Sachsen-Anhalt. The CDU politician has been on the move across the state, donning his shirttails and presenting himself as one of the locals, unlike those who merely discuss issues. He took over the role of Minister-President from Reiner Haseloff (CDU) in January, and since then, he has increasingly assumed the role of the head of government. Schulze has focused on key issues such as the crisis in the automotive and chemical industries, the introduction of citizen service, and new projects in education. He seeks direct contact with the people, organizing events with comedian Didi Hallervorden that have sometimes provoked strong reactions. Despite his efforts, Schulze is striving to close the gap with the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party in the polls. However, the question remains whether his actions will be enough to prevent an AfD-led government after the Landtag elections on September 6th and allow him to continue as Minister-President.",
