Melsungen (dpa/lhe) – The Hessian AfD discussed its program for the state elections on October 8th at a state party conference on Saturday. “We all know that election day is payday,” said deputy parliamentary group leader Andreas Lichert at the start of the event in Melsungen, North Hesse (Schwalm-Eder district). Especially in times of crisis, citizens settled their accounts in hard political currency. And the hot credibility. “More and more citizens feel and understand that the old parties no longer have the answers to the really serious questions of our time,” explained Lichtert. The AfD shows that they can give these answers.
The party’s election program calls for, among other things, securing the energy supply, stopping the expansion of wind and solar systems and restricting refugee policies. According to the paper, the party also wants to abolish the real estate transfer tax, introduce a baby welcome bonus and introduce the school subject “local history” in the Hessian school curriculum. 214 voting delegates were invited to the party conference, which is due to end on Sunday.
