Friedman stated, "The situation in our country is difficult, it is serious, and as far as democracy is concerned, it is highly endangered." He believes that every state parliament election serves as a seismograph and thermometer for the 2029 federal election.

In his view, two parties are not electable: the AfD and the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW). Friedman referenced the BSW's announcement that they might abstain in a decisive voting round for the Minister-President in Saxony-Anhalt, potentially paving the way for an AfD politician to take office. "Abstention is complicity," Friedman declared.
