State Election in Thuringia: Wagenknecht Calls for Different Approach to AfD

Sahra Wagenknecht, chairwoman of the BSW, advocates for a different approach to dealing with the AfD. Katja Wolf, BSW's top candidate in Thuringia, says one must deal with the AfD pragmatically and based on content.

CDU top candidate Mario Voigt accuses the BSW of not ruling out cooperation with the AfD, even tolerating an AfD minority government. Voigt wants to await the election result in humility and convince as many voters as possible for his party in the election campaign.

State Election in Thuringia: BSW Votes for AfD Laws? Voigt ... Demands Explanation

Thuringian CDU top candidate Mario Voigt demands an explanation from the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW) regarding possible majorities for AfD laws. BSW top candidate Katja Wolf does not rule out approving AfD initiatives and calls for more pragmatism instead of ideology in dealing with the AfD. In the state election, a neck-and-neck race between the BSW and the CDU is emerging, which could give Wolf a claim to the office of Minister President. Despite rejecting a coalition with the AfD, the CDU has accepted AfD votes for its own bills in the past. Voigt emphasizes that different rules would apply for motions in a coalition.
