Thorsten Frei, the leader of the Union parliamentary group, stated that a coalition of the CDU in Saxony-Anhalt with the AfD would not be tolerated. This applies both to the upcoming elections and to a fundamental stance of the party.

According to Frei, a fundamental resolution of the CDU cannot be applied differently depending on the federal state. This clear positioning serves to delineate the party from the AfD and reinforces the federal party's line regarding the eastern state associations.
