AfD candidate Siegmund wants sole government in Saxony-Anhalt

The top candidate of the Saxony-Anhalt AfDUlrich Siegmund, has formulated his claim for power for the time after the state election in one year. “We want to offer a stable and reliable government,” he said star. “That is why we need a safe majority – and none in which one or two votes in parliament will end up.” He also ruled out a possible minority government.

The Magdeburg state parliament will be re -elected on September 6, 2026. According to a current survey, the AfD in the East German state has 39 percent. The CDU is behind 27 percent. The left follows with 13 percent, the SPD with seven percent and the BSW with six percent. At three percent, the Greens would no longer be represented in the state parliament, as well as the liberals. Due to its low survey value, the FDP was not specially shown, but was given with other splinter parties under “Others” (five percent).

“These 39 percent give us tailwind,” said Siegmund. “Of course, they are not enough to be able to rule this country alone.” However, he skeptically assessed a possible coalition or toleration by the BSW or the CDU. “We do not beat our hand who, like us, means well with our country and its citizens,” he said. “However, I currently doubt whether the BSW or others could be a partner.” Therefore, the goal remains: “We want a stable sole government.”

Siegmund announced a radical tightening of migration policy after an election victory. “In the asylum area, we will immediately switch from money to benefits in kind and also drive back all other incentives,” he says. In addition, there is a real deportation offensive and the “central and safe accommodation” of all refugees.

Siegmund said that he had “no problem” with legal refugees. But there are many who are “illegal” in the country, the social system abused and serious crimes committed: “I want to make life as uncomfortable as possible so that they go again by themselves. Otherwise we send them home.”

Siegmund defended the concept of “remigration”. This is a “normal, positive word” and means a departure from the previous irregular and illegal immigration “into our country. The framework is always the Basic Law.

The top candidate, who is also the AfD co-chair in the state parliament, also explained that Saxony-Anhalt under him as Prime Minister wants to get out of public radio. “As a state government, we will terminate the broadcasting contract as soon as possible,” he said. At this point there is a uniform attitude of the AfD in the Central German federal states in which the MDR sends.
