State Election in Thuringia: Bodo Ramelow Strives for ... Majority

Bodo Ramelow, the current Minister-President of Thuringia, is aiming to secure a parliamentary majority in the upcoming state election. The current red-red-green coalition has been dependent on the CDU, but Ramelow hopes to change that. CDU candidate Mario Voigt, on the other hand, is seeking a 'political change' and rejects forming an alliance with the AfD, Left Party, and Greens. Björn Höcke, the leader of the AfD, claims that his party should form the government if they win the election, while the BSW candidate wants a substantive debate. The SPD candidate, Maier, is advocating for a 'democratic majority government'. Recent polls indicate that the Greens and FDP may not reach the 5% threshold, while the BSW is polling at 19%. In addition to the election itself, there have been allegations of plagiarism against CDU candidate Voigt, which are currently being investigated. The TV debates have also been intense, with debates over migration and its impact on various sectors. In the neighboring state of Saxony, the Left Party has received support from prominent figures such as Sebastian Krumbiegel and Konstantin Wecker. Finally, the leader of the SPD, Klingbeil, is optimistic about reaching an agreement on the federal budget for 2025, despite the challenges posed by the recent constitutional court ruling on the debt brake.
