Political positions

In August 2014, he wrote an open letter to fellow citizens to think about taking in refugees, especially mothers and young children, into their private houses and apartments. He described the conditions in mass quarters as precarious and difficult to bear, especially for children. In this context, it was emphasized in the press that some federal states (such as North Rhine-Westphalia) do not allow refugees to be accommodated in private apartments or only allow them in exceptional cases. Then Patzelt took two men from Eritrea into his home.

After the state elections in Brandenburg in 2019 , he pleaded for coalition negotiations with the AfD . One owes this to the "hundreds of thousands of voters in Brandenburg who voted for the AfD" and had to make it clear to them "why we may not be able to enter a coalition with the AfD after talks." He added: "Should, contrary to expectations, and full of surprise - which I cannot imagine - if the AfD move away from a number of positions, then it would make all the more sense to have a conversation. "

Martin Patzelt advocated a nationwide speed limit of 130 km / h in December 2019 and expressed his regret that he had abstained from an application made by the Greens in October 2019 to introduce it.

Martin Patzelt is a board member of the "German Solidarity Committee for a Free Iran", which supports the interests of the People's Mujahedin in Germany. Together with the former President of the Bundestag Rita Süssmuth , the CDU politician visited the People's Mujahedin camp in Albania in 2018.
