Peace policy in the focus of the Sahra Wagenknecht alliance in Saxony

For the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW) in Saxony, peace in Europe is also the most important issue in the election campaign for the state elections on September 1. "We want peace negotiations. A security architecture is only possible with Russia," said BSW lead candidate Sabine Zimmermann on the ZDF morning show. She rejected a further deployment of US weapons in Germany because this would mean a new level of escalation and Germany could become a target.

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.
