In a heated appearance on ‘Markus Lanz,’ AfD candidate Ulrich Siegmund struggled to outline his party’s plans for the upcoming Sachsen-Anhalt state election.

With just 85 days until the election, the CDU trails the AfD by over 15 percentage points, as the party aims for an absolute majority with polling above 40%.

Siegmund avoided questions about potential ministry cuts and faced criticism for not providing concrete solutions to pressing issues like workforce shortages and demographic decline.
