Saxony’s head of government
Provoking right-wing extremists – Kretschmer remains calm
Michael Kretschmer is used to tough debates. During an election campaign in Pirna, he proved that he is not easily ruffled.
The right-wing extremist micro-party “Free Saxony” was marched with a few dozen supporters, including a poster that read “Arrest Kretschmer”. She tried to disrupt a barbecue party organized by the Union for the mayoral election in Pirna. Kretschmer remained calm and spoke to people in the city for a good hour and a half. Quite a few of them asked critical questions, for example on migration or Russia’s war against Ukraine.
