Kamenz. What positions do the candidates who are running in the Bautzen 2 constituency – the region around Kamenz – in the state election on September 1 represent? This question was to be answered at an election forum organized by the Saxon State Center for Political Education on Tuesday in Kamenz. There was great interest, with around a hundred guests gathered at the Flair Hotel to perhaps get some help in making their decision about their crosses on the ballot paper.

  • Elaine Jentsch (CDU),
  • Ralf-Peter Hechtberger (AfD),
  • Ines Enns (The Left),
  • Matthias Höhle (Alliance 90/The Greens),
  • Jurij Petr Bulang (SPD) and
  • Matthias Schniebel (FDP)

Three topics were the focus of the debate:

  • Democracy and citizen participation,
  • Security and asylum policy,
  • Education.

One thing can be said in advance: on many issues, the candidates at least represented similar positions; no heated debates or even arguments arose during the forum.
