Deportation, broadcasting, schools AfD presents 100-day plan for Saxony-Anhalt

2026-07-11

Germany's Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) has unveiled a 100-day action plan outlining the measures it says it would implement immediately if it wins the upcoming state election in Sachsen-Anhalt.

The plan focuses heavily on migration and public security. AfD says it would expand detention facilities for deportations, introduce compulsory work for asylum seekers, and tighten immigration enforcement. The party argues these measures are necessary to improve security and reduce pressure on public services.

Education is another major priority in the proposal. AfD wants to establish separate classes for children of asylum seekers, increase security personnel in schools it considers problematic, ban rainbow flags from schools, and require the German national flag to be displayed daily. The party also plans to replace the state's current promotional slogan, **#moderndenken** ("Think Modern"), with **#deutschdenken** ("Think German").

The party also intends to reduce the size of the state government by eliminating one or two ministries and cutting funding for party-affiliated foundations and democracy promotion programs. At the same time, it proposes financial support to help apprentices obtain driving licences and has called for a parliamentary inquiry into the state's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.

AfD leaders said the program represents the political change they believe many voters are demanding ahead of the September state election. Opinion polls currently place the party ahead of its rivals in Sachsen-Anhalt, although several elements of its program are expected to face legal, constitutional and political challenges if it attempts to implement them after taking office.
