"As per the survey results, the AfD party in Brandenburg envisions capturing an absolute majority"

In the upcoming state elections in Brandenburg, the Alternative for Germany (AfD) is poised to make a significant impact, according to recent opinion polls. If elections were held today, the AfD would reportedly receive almost a third (34%) of eligible voters' votes.

This potential shift in political power has raised concerns and sparked discussions among local political parties. The AfD's platform, which includes remigration instead of mass immigration, a de-ideologized education system, and the liberation of the middle class from climate nonsense and bureaucracy, has resonated with some voters.

Sebastian Walter, the lead candidate of The Left (Die Linke) in Brandenburg, has chosen the Social Democratic Party (SPD) as the target for a coalition government. He criticizes cooperation or closeness with the AfD and calls for a government focused on social security and a stance against the right wing, implicitly setting the SPD as a potential coalition partner rather than parties like the BSW or AfD.

However, the AfD's lead over the SPD suggests a potential change in the political landscape. The BSW's decline in popularity may impact coalition dynamics, with some, such as Springer, calling on the BSW to break the coalition due to its declining popularity.

The SPD's General Secretary, Kurt Fischer, emphasizes the need for quick investments from the special fund, serious reforms for the social system, and efforts for new economic growth in Brandenburg. Meanwhile, Walter warns that cutting teaching positions and putting the future of the country at risk could lead to the AfD benefiting.

The AfD's state chairman, René Springer, has expressed a desire for a single-party government of the AfD in Brandenburg. Springer suggests that an AfD single-party government would end stagnation, blockades, and compromises. However, Springer's party has been classified as 'conclusively right-wing extremist' by the domestic intelligence agency.

Walter, on the other hand, states that the Left is coming back to Brandenburg, which he considers good for the state. The Left demands no more cuts, no more AfD cuddling, and a government that creates social security and takes a stance against the right.

As the election date approaches, the political landscape in Brandenburg remains uncertain, with the AfD leading in the polls and the potential for a shift in political power. The decisions made by the parties in the coming weeks could significantly impact the future of Brandenburg.
