AfD sets out hard-line Saxony-Anhalt plan: deport migrants and expand Russian school exchanges
The AfD unveiled a 156-page regional programme for Saxony-Anhalt ahead of September elections, pledging migrant deportations, ending asylum rights, banning gender-inclusive language, scrapping the state public broadcaster and education agency, and expanding Russian language teaching and school exchanges to foster closer Moscow ties. Polls show strong regional support (around 40%), which could let the party govern Saxony-Anhalt for the first time, though the platform faces potential constitutional challenges and would significantly reshape state policy if enacted.
