- The AfD won Saxony-Anhalt’s state election by a wide margin last Sunday and is now seeking to form a government.
- Thorsten Frei considers federal compulsion possible as a last resort if an AfD state government potentially violated the constitution.
- Article 37 of the Basic Law allows the federal government, with Bundesrat approval, to compel a non-cooperative state to fulfill its duties.
- The federal government would have authority to issue instructions to all states and authorities; the provision has never been used.
The federal compulsion is an ultimate measure. Should the situation require it, we will of course enforce the Basic Law and use all instruments.— Thorsten Frei, Leader of the Union parliamentary group, told the Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland newspapers.

- An education requirement allowing a choice between school and home instruction would be legally disputed and require a two-thirds constitutional majority.
