Schulze warns: AfD could turn Germany upside down”!
On November 10, 2025, citizens in Saxony-Anhalt are looking forward to the upcoming state elections in 2026. Sven Schulze, the 46-year-old Economics Minister, has become the focus of the political discussion since his election as the CDU's top candidate at the beginning of November 2023. He sees the election as a “fateful election” for Germany and has set himself the goal of regaining the trust of voters and achieving an independent majority without the AfD and the Left Party. What does Schulze think about the current difficulties and competition?
Schulze speaks out clearly and sharply criticizes the AfD. He accuses her of wanting to turn the country “upside down,” which the majority of Saxony-Anhalt residents do not want. Despite current polls showing the AfD more than ten points ahead of the CDU, he remains optimistic. “I don’t believe in negative poll numbers,” he notes, pointing to the CDU’s positive election results in the past. Direct contact with people and the use of social media are of great importance for the upcoming election campaign, said Schulze.
Migration and economy in focus
A central theme in Schulze's plan for the future of Saxony-Anhalt is migration and deportations. He emphasizes that these issues cannot be ignored and reports a decline in the number of refugees in the country. The burden of accommodating and integrating asylum seekers is a challenge for municipalities and the country. “We have to show our colors here and find concrete solutions,” explains Schulze and criticizes Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul for his incorrect statements about Syria deportations.
Schulze also sees the current economic crisis as a significant obstacle for the Union. It is urgently necessary to create positive impulses. Chip technology is particularly close to his heart because he wants to support medium-sized businesses in order to keep the economic structures in Saxony-Anhalt stable. “We have to act to overcome the challenges and not look at the wrong decisions for the future,” continued Schulze.
How the election turns out remains to be seen. But one thing is certain: Sven Schulze has prepared for an exciting election campaign that will cover both local and national issues. Time will tell whether his strategy will work and whether voters will support him and the CDU. Further information about the state elections in Saxony-Anhalt can be found at spiegel.de.
