Saxony-Anhalt’s cultural scene is looking ahead to the next state elections with concern. The AfD wants to become the strongest force in the state and, according to the latest polls, certainly has a chance of governing Saxony-Anhalt.
The AfD is also striving for changes in cultural policy. The state government therefore wants to protect the cultural sector from political influence with a cultural promotion law. The bill is to be debated at the upcoming session of the state parliament.
Dr. Ruth Heftrig, Managing Director of BBK Sachsen-Anhalt e.V., also commented on this topic, which you can listen to here.
