Schwerdtner auf Parteitag: "Für diesen Sturm sind wir noch nicht gewappnet"

AI Summary

Saxony's Minister-President Michael Kretschmer cautions that the established parties' strategy of isolating the far-right AfD—known as the 'firewall'—is losing effectiveness. He contends that merely excluding the party from cooperation is insufficient and argues that addressing underlying government policy failures is essential to counter the AfD's electoral advancement. The warning reflects growing concerns about the viability of current anti-extremist strategies as the party strengthens in eastern Germany.
