Saxon Minister President Kretschmer Holds Confidential Meeting with AfD Leader Urban

Despite ongoing coalition talks, Kretschmer's meeting with the AfD, labeled as right-wing extremist, sparks political controversy.

Michael Kretschmer, Saxon Minister President, met with AfD's Jörg Urban, raising eyebrows amid coalition negotiations with SPD and BSW.
The meeting was confidential, with discussions reportedly focused on state political issues, but specific details remain undisclosed.
Kretschmer has consistently rejected any collaboration with the AfD, which is classified by state intelligence as a right-wing extremist group.
The timing of the meeting, during coalition talks, has drawn criticism from SPD, emphasizing the need to uphold a 'firewall' against the AfD.
The CDU narrowly won the recent state election over the AfD, with coalition talks complicated by differing stances on Ukraine and US missile policies.
