- On September 6, 1.7 million people are called to vote; polls put the AfD ahead of the CDU, while the outcome remains open.
- Campact is investing about €620,000; €310,000 donations each for the SPD and Greens were reportedly registered.
- The “Tactical Voting” initiative reports reaching 30,000 doorsteps and 200,000 people through its website.
- The August 28 poll put AfD at 40%, CDU at 23%, SPD at 9%, and Greens at 6%; matching results would prevent sole AfD rule.
That is absolutely legitimate.— Professor Thorsten Faas, political scientist at the University of Berlin, stated this in response to a request by the Frankfurter Rundschau (Ippen.Media) regarding tactical voting.

- On migration, it could establish 300 detention places for deportees, while central issues would remain governed by federal law.
- An education requirement allowing a choice between school and home instruction would be legally disputed and require a two-thirds constitutional majority.

- The platform calls for teachers to remain politically neutral and to moderate students’ views without debating them with their own opinions.
- According to the article, this requirement could conflict with constitutionally protected freedom of expression, while civil-service law would presumably require teachers to oppose anti-democratic statements.
- The platform proposes abolishing comprehensive schools with upper-secondary divisions and relying instead on academic, lower-secondary and intermediate schools.
- The curriculum would add local studies and place greater emphasis on the 19th century, while the article raises concerns that the Nazi era could be largely omitted.
If the AfD wants to restrict freedom of expression as soon as teachers point to the liberal-democratic basic order, then it shows what it really wants: its own free pass for political indoctrination.— Bob Blume, a senior teacher (Oberstudienrat) from Bühl, in a column for the Deutsche Schulportal (the German School Portal)
