AfD as deputy: Meißen in the political surf!

Meißen, Deutschland - In a shocking step, the district council in Meißen elected an AfD representative as deputy district administrator! Stefan Hartmann, the state chairman of the Left Saxony, sharply criticizes this decision and speaks of a "crumbling fire wall" to the fascist AfD. Despite a democratic opposite candidate, the election was enforced with a clear majority. This throws a bright light on the political conditions in the district and lets the alarm bells ring!

The consequences of this choice are already noticeable! Civil society groups such as "colorful Meißen" are increasingly at risk. Threat letters, arson attacks and even dog droppings in front of their offices are just a few of the shocking attacks they have to suffer. The political landscape is also affected: AfD-led majorities in the city council are cutting funding for associations that are committed to democracy and humanity. A clear attack on the values that keep our society together!

A call to defend democracy

Hartmann vehemently demands that there is no normalization of the AfD. "We have to do everything we can to strengthen civil society actors who are committed to democracy on site," he explains. The state government is obliged to secure and expand programs such as "cosmopolitan Saxony". A quick household is essential to give the endangered initiative backing and to defend democracy!
