Munich (dpa) - After the election success in Rhineland-Palatinate, Free Voters Bundeschef Hubert Aiwanger sees his party before moving into the state parliament of Saxony-Anhalt - and even on the way to the Bundestag.

"The free voters are definitely the sleeping giant in the political landscape," said Aiwanger on Monday.

The party is "ripe" for the Bundestag.

In the last two federal elections, the free voters did not get more than 1.0 percent.

In Rhineland-Palatinate, the Free Voters made it into the state parliament on Sunday with 5.4 percent.

Aiwanger once again set the goal of not only moving into the Bundestag, but also into the next federal government.

"We want to make bourgeois majorities possible again," he said.

Aiwanger is striving for a coalition with the Union and the FDP - even if, given the mask affair, not everyone is currently "photographed" with the CDU.

Aiwanger emphasized that it was clear that the cards in Berlin would be reshuffled with strong free voters.

Aiwanger now sees the Free Voters “on an equal footing with the FDP”.

The own basis is stronger than that of the FDP.

In Baden-Württemberg, the FDP only performed a little stronger on Sunday because the Free Voters were not sufficiently visible there.

"With a little more preparation, it would have been enough to move in there," argued the federal chairman.

The Free Voters pursued an economically liberal policy of the center.

"We are not a protest party," he emphasized.

"And we are not a flash in the pan."
