Wetten, dass... die Demokratie gewinnt?!

Ahead of the state parliamentary elections in Saxony-Anhalt and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, the taz is hosting panel discussions with representatives from civil society and politics.

Saxony-Anhalt will elect a new state parliament on September 6, and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania on September 20. In both states, the AfD currently holds a clear lead in the polls; in some cases, it could even win an absolute majority.
