The leaders of the opposition Alternative for Germany have made their first statements since a landslide victory in the state elections in Thuringia and the political “silver lining” in Saxony.
Co-chair of AfD Alicia Weidel He declared live on the first German channel:
“This is a historic success for us! For the first time, we have become the strongest force in the regional elections. And of course, we will emerge stronger from the elections. At the same time, this is also a defeat for the “traffic light” (as the ruling coalition in Germany is called among itself due to the similarity of colours that symbolise the parties in power – the current Chancellor’s SPD). Olaf ScholzFDP and the Greens. — EADaily). This is a requiem for them! And the “traffic light” must ask itself: can they continue to govern?
For his part, the co-president of AfD Tino Chrupalla He told the TsDF television channel:
“Yes, we achieved a very good result in Saxony. Sensational result in Thuringia! One thing is absolutely clear: the will of the voters is for a change of policy here, both in Saxony and Thuringia. We are ready to negotiate with all parties for the benefit of Germany. You must take into account the wave of voters who say that without AfD there will be no more politics. And of course the next few days will prove that. What I think is really remarkable is that the Greens, the most dangerous party in Germany, will probably be expelled from the parliaments of both states.”
EADaily He explains that Alternative for Germany won the elections in Thuringia with 32.8% of the votes. In neighbouring Saxony, the Christian Democrats, who are also not part of the government coalition, won the regional elections with 31.9% of the votes. Alternative for Germany was just a little behind the first place: the party received 30.6%.
