welt.de (German)

Saxony-Anhalt's premier and CDU candidate Sven Schulze insists the AfD has no majority, vowing not to rely on any party, as polls show the AfD leading. In an interview, Schulze said he saw no risk of defectors and would not depend on the AfD or the Left. He declined to discuss minority government, saying the campaign is about him versus the AfD. Schulze, one of eastern state premiers, wants changes to planned pension reform. Polls show Left 13%, SPD 7%, Greens 5%; BSW would miss threshold. Election is September 6.
