Mainz (dpa / lrs) - Just under a month before the Rhineland-Palatinate state election, the AfD parliamentary group drew a positive balance of its work.
"We have made the state parliament legs," said the parliamentary manager Jan Bollinger on Tuesday.
The deputy parliamentary group leader Joachim Paul said that the work of the AfD had made an impact by "pushing the traffic light coalition in the right direction" in some political areas.
Looking at current polls, which see the AfD at seven to eight percent, Bollinger admitted that his party had a hard time approaching citizens directly because of the corona restrictions.
These direct contacts, for example at information booths, have always been one of the party's strengths.
But even in the state elections five years ago, the AfD then performed better than was initially predicted in the polls.
At that time, the AfD had moved into the state parliament for the first time with 12.6 percent.
With a view to the current discussion about the corona measures, Paul expressed the hope of a "strong change in mood" among voters, the more the consequences of the lockdown policy of the federal and state governments became noticeable.
