Haseloff thinks about emigration: AfD election victory could become a reality!

With regard to the upcoming political challenges in Saxony-Anhalt, the Prime Minister Reiner Haseloff (CDU) recently expressed his concern about the persistently high approval values ​​for the AfD. In a current statement, he promised to leave his state if the AfD was to become the strongest force in the upcoming elections. Haseloff spoke of an "unbearable atmosphere" that would bring such a situation with it, and compared the AfD speakers with questionable elements from the last phase of the Weimar Republic - a worrying comparison that raises questions about political stability. However, he remains true to his roots because he indicates that he is united with his family all over Germany and does not strive for an emigration goal abroad.

The next state election will take place on September 6, 2026. In the last election in 2021, the AfD reached 20.8 percent and the CDU reached 37.1 percent of the vote. However, current surveys show a head-to-head race between the two greatest political forces. CDU district councils, such as Martin Stichnoth from the Börde district, require quick action to stop the CDU's loss of votes and to discuss the new direction of the party. With a view to the worrying development, it is important for Haseloff to emphasize that it is optimistic that the citizens can differentiate between the parties and that a similar basis could enable the AfD to return to the CDU.

pragmatic solutions required

In order to meet the requirements of the electorate, the Landes-CDU sees itself against the urgent challenge of securing back votes from the AfD. Pragmatic and credible political approaches are required for this, as Stichnoth noted. At a time when the AfD is increasingly on the upswing, strategies must be developed to effectively address the voter base. Haseloff is asked by many to formulate a strong and united front in the fight against the spreading AfD.

He also brings his political experience in the subject of citizen money, where he spoke out for the use of recipients of benefits to work. In his time as a work office director, he successfully implemented similar measures that led to noticeable deregistration from citizen benefit. Such initiatives could help change public perception and to promote acceptance towards the CDU.

With a clear view of the upcoming challenges, Haseloff is aware that the political landscape could change significantly until the election in 2026. His statements make it clear that a need for action -oriented and well thought -out political decisions are essential in order to regain voters and contain the support for the AfD. During this uncertain time he warns the CDU and other democratic forces to join together and to meet the needs of the citizens in order not to end in a political dead end.

It remains to be seen how the situation will develop until the next election and whether the Prime Minister decides to start again as a top candidate. A clear call for insight and cooperation between the parties is indispensable to ensure the future of Saxony-Anhalt. As the coming months will show, a lot is at stake and the political actors will have to prove.
