An engineer turned politician with experience in Brussels and regional government, Schulze argues that immigration is necessary to fill critical gaps in farming and healthcare. He’s refusing to compromise on national pension reforms and has made it clear Ukraine will remain a top priority. His “firewall” policy ensures neither AfD nor the Left Party will serve in his cabinet — a bold move turning the election into a referendum on whether voters want principled leadership or political pragmatism. With the stakes high and the AfD looming, Schulze’s strategy could reshape regional politics — or collapse under pressure.
