Saxony's Minister President Michael Kretschmer has once again emphasized the clear distinction of the CDU from the AfD. In a recent statement, the CDU politician pointed out that there will be no coalition or collaboration with the AfD. This statement comes after criticism of his previous remarks regarding the so-called 'firewall' intended to separate the CDU from the AfD. Kretschmer reaffirmed that the CDU is pursuing a clear line to distinguish itself from the AfD and to defend the party's values.
