Political attitude

After the state elections in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in 2016 , Sascha Ott was proposed by the CDU for the post of Justice Minister . One day before the state party conference of the CDU, his party withdrew the nomination. This was justified with entries from Otts on Facebook ; Ott showed sympathy for the Alternative for Germany (AfD). Ott stated at the state party conference in October 2016 that he would “(...) not apologize publicly” or “(...) have himself locked in a cage of political correctness (...)”.

In May 2019, Ott called for the CDU to work with the AfD. "If the AfD is elected by a quarter of the citizens, it would be disrespectful to these voters if we ignored them and categorically reject any cooperation with the AfD."

Ott's statements about sexual and gender minorities sparked discussion. In response to the opening of marriage to same-sex couples , Ott said in 2017 that this was "charlatanism" and that it would ultimately harm everyone as a distraction from the "programmatic void in politics". "Many people become alienated from politics when the legitimate expectations of the majority society are ignored and (supposed) concerns of minorities are declared the 'golden calf' instead". In March 2019, he denied the existence of intersex and non-binary people in a Facebook comment: "You can rightly joke about the misconception of the 'third gender' - it's a joke, and we should make sure of it that it stays that way ". In a meeting of the district council of Vorpommern-Greifswald on March 2, 2020, he described LGBTI people as a "microscopic fringe group". Instead of "upgrading them until they are in line with the majority society", politicians should show respect for people who "work hard" and "raise children in the interests of the state".

family

Ott is married and has five children.
