🇩🇪 “Migrants make the country as great as it is”: The Greens’ campaign-trail view of Saxony-Anhalt

Two days before the state election, Green candidate Susan Sziborra-Seidlitz explained on the ZDF Morning Magazine why her party “does not complain about migration.” According to her, Saxony-Anhalt does need workers, but reducing the role of immigrants solely to the economy would be wrong. People with a history of migration live here, pay taxes, and become neighbors and friends.

"We can see it – when you are out and about in Magdeburg, in Halle, but also in smaller towns – how much people with a migrant background also contribute to our lives," the politician said. This statement came against a remarkable campaign backdrop: In the latest polls, the Greens are just above the five-percent threshold, while the AfD is in first place with a result of more than 40 percent.

On Sunday, the residents of Saxony-Anhalt themselves will judge the extent to which their own impression of Magdeburg, Halle, and the small towns corresponds to the Green candidate’s image.
