AfD focuses on education policy in Saxony during election campaign

In addition to asylum policy, education policy is the most important issue for the AfD in Saxony in the election campaign for the state elections on September 1. Saxony is the "one-eyed among the blind" when it comes to education, said AfD top candidate Jörg Urban in the ZDF morning show. The existing teaching staff should be activated. Part-time employees should be motivated to work full-time and retirees to extend their working hours.

In addition, immigration should be significantly limited. Saxony should be made "unattractive for people who only want to immigrate to our social system and, in the worst case, become criminals", emphasized Urban.

According to the ZDF Politbarometer, the CDU is ahead of the AfD (30 percent) with 34 percent. It is followed by the Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) alliance with 11 percent. The SPD and Greens would each receive 6 percent, while the Left Party is threatened with failure at the five percent hurdle with 4 percent. According to these poll results, the CDU could continue its current alliance with the SPD and Greens.
