Magdeburg (dpa / sa) - With an action in front of the state parliament, the State Women's Council of Saxony-Anhalt has made its call for more female MPs clear.

Different colored cardboard stools showed the low proportion of women in the state parliament on Thursday.

Both in the state parliament and in local political representatives, it is around 20 percent, said the state women's council.

“Almost 100 years after the introduction of women's suffrage, this is alarming.

It is to be feared that the proportion of women in the upcoming elections will not be significantly higher. "

The State Women's Council advocates that all parties occupy their list places and direct mandates equally.

A new state parliament will be elected in Saxony-Anhalt on June 6th.
