AfD plans major media and parliamentary reforms in Saxony-Anhalt
Following the AfD's victory in the Saxony-Anhalt state election with 43.8 percent of the vote, the party is proposing significant structural changes to the state's governance and media landscape.
As part of its government program, the AfD intends to terminate existing state broadcasting treaties as a primary action. They propose replacing public broadcasting with a 'Grundfunk' model, which would provide a basic constitutional service supplemented by optional paid subscriptions, potentially funded through advertising or state budgets.
In the state parliament, the AfD is pushing for changes to committee structures, suggesting they consist of 12 members instead of 13. Critics note that a 12-member structure could allow the AfD to hold 6 seats, potentially resulting in a 6:6 deadlock on decisions.
The party is also positioning itself for leadership roles, with Tobias Rausch identified as a potential candidate for Landtag President. Meanwhile, CDU Minister President Sven Schulze has firmly rejected any possibility of a coalition or cooperation with the AfD.
