Many of the Alternative for Germany party's headline proposals for Saxony-Anhalt are either unconstitutional or beyond the authority of a state government, according to lawyer and political scientist Joschka Selinger. Speaking in an interview with The Local, Selinger unpacked what policies are actually possible for the party to implement.
Among the measures discussed, Selinger noted that the controversial concept of remigration could not be implemented by a state government. Despite these legal and constitutional barriers, the political scientist warned that the party can still be expected to test the limits of the law in the region.
The analysis highlights the complex legal frameworks constraining regional authorities in Germany when dealing with radical policy proposals from populist parties.
