"How can you say we're fed up with politics here?"

In the days before the runoff election for the mayor in Cottbus, the starting point and the election campaign got even worse. The AfD member of parliament Lars Schieske and his party sense the rising energy prices and migration figures as a momentum to convert resentment into a political mandate. In East Germany, the AfD is the strongest force in polls for the federal election. SPD candidate Schick and almost all other parties have made it their mission to prevent the AfD from winning. Schick and Schieske have often met in the past few weeks. Both feel the mood in the city. They just draw completely different conclusions from it.
