Defensive software that blocks unauthorized access to a network or computer - The CDU remains steadfast in its refusal to partner with the AfD.

In December 2023, the Saxony Constitution Protection labeled the local AfD party as a solidly right-wing extremist undertaking. They are currently challenging this classification in court. Meanwhile, for the CDU, working with the AfD is out of the question due to their incompatibility decision.

Dierks viewed the European Parliament election results at the federal level as a "clear rejection" against the traffic light coalition consisting of the SPD, Greens, and FDP. Despite their best efforts, the Union could not shift public opinion in favor of them throughout Eastern Germany. "It's not ideal," he stated. The ultimate goal for the Union is to emerge as the top force in the state during the state parliament election on September 1st. "What Saxony needs is a solid direction, a proficient, majority-led government in the conservative center."

In the upcoming municipal elections on Sunday in various German municipalities, the CDU and other parties are eager to prevent the AfD from gaining more influence. The EU has expressed concerns about the protection of the constitution in light of the AfD's political stance, especially in relation to its views on European integration. Despite their election victory in the European elections, the CDU in Dresden, Saxony, has faced challenges, with some citizens calling for a "firewall" against the AfD. The CDU's main focus remains on ensuring a strong performance in the Saxony state parliament election, aiming to establish a solid, pro-conservative government. The recent court challenge against the Saxony Constitution Protection's classification of the local AfD as a right-wing extremist party adds an additional layer of complexity to the political landscape.
