1500 euros for the driver's license and Russian gas: that's what the AfD wants in Saxony-Anhalt

The article discusses the economic policies proposed by the AfD (Alternative for Germany) in Saxony-Anhalt, highlighting their focus on reducing immigration and increasing wages. It notes that 91% of AfD voters express concerns about rising numbers of foreigners in the region, while 89% worry about paying bills. The article references a survey showing that 65% of AfD voters rate their financial situation as poor, significantly higher than other parties. It also highlights structural issues in Saxony-Anhalt, including a high unemployment rate and lower average wages compared to the national average. The AfD has gained credibility in addressing economic problems, surpassing the CDU. Their proposals include stopping migration from refugees and third-country nationals, halting 'poverty immigration' from EU countries, and rejecting the hiring of 'culturally foreign specialists' due to alleged negative impacts.

AfD after victory in Saxony-Anhalt: "CDU and CSU will never win another election"
