- Middelberg rejected clarifying possible Union votes for the AfD candidate, citing the secret ballot.
- Middelberg nevertheless insisted that there should still be no cooperation with the AfD.
- Banaszak said talks about a coalition required the Left to demonstrate a reliable response to antisemitism.
- He distinguished the democratic Left, with problematic elements, from the officially established far-right AfD.

- In the latest episode of their podcast, Markus Lanz and Richard David Precht examined the so-called AfD government programme for the state election in Saxony-Anhalt.
- The AfD programme calls for abolishing the Europe-wide Bologna system and returning to the traditional Diplom and Magister degrees.
- Precht welcomed the proposal and criticized the lack of any other party willing to address the issue openly, while the pair strongly criticized the AfD programme overall.
- The Bologna reform, signed by 29 European education ministers in 1999, aimed to create a common higher-education area, but the DAAD warns that abandoning it entirely would significantly weaken Germany’s international appeal as a study destination.
