Kretschmer campaigned in Chemnitz for citizens: “Here are decent people who are committed to community.” Here, Germans and migrants would live toger peacefully. To strengn m is goal of his visit. The rule of law must be granted.
Kretschmer, among or things, set off from AfD, whose chairman Jörg Meun sees in critique of events above all a “maßloses Saxony-bashing” and considers migrants a danger. In Saxony, where a new Landtag is elected next year, AfD is second strongest party in polls. The co-chairman Alexander Gaula had expressed his appreciation for freaking demonstrators on Wednesday.
Kretschmer said in Chemnitz: “There are many people who have worries that stir up events of last days.” He is open to dialogue with citizens. This was also said by mayor of Chemnitz, Ludwig: “I think this is best thing you can do right now: Talk directly to those who feel concerned.”
