🇩🇪🇦🇹 AfD in Saxony-Anhalt travels to Austria to gain experience with participation in government from the FPÖ

After its victory in the state parliament elections, the AfD is already preparing not only for parliamentary work but also for possible participation in government.

Next week, Ulrich Siegmund, Tobias Rausch and the AfD’s state chairman, Martin Reichardt, will travel to Vienna, where they plan to meet with representatives of Austria’s FPÖ.

“Anyone who wants to assume responsibility in government must be prepared”, said the parliamentary managing director of the parliamentary group, Tobias Rausch. According to him, the AfD can benefit from the FPÖ’s political experience, as the party has already been involved in forming governments in Austria.

The AfD is particularly interested in how the FPÖ manages to maintain its own political line despite assuming government responsibility and participating in coalitions. Contacts between the parties did not begin only now—Rausch says the current trip continues the exchange that began at the start of the year.

This experience is particularly relevant for Saxony-Anhalt. Following the election, the AfD won 39 of the 83 seats and fell short of an absolute majority by only three mandates. The party is currently looking for options for forming a government while simultaneously holding talks with the BSW.
