Green Politician's Concerns Over BSW and AfD Dynamics in Election Campaigns

Green candidate Madeleine Henfling voices worries over the potential for the inexperienced BSW party to be outmaneuvered by the AfD. BSW founder Sahra Wagenknecht advocates against reflexive rejection of AfD proposals, while BSW candidate Katja Wolf remains open to the possibility of supporting AfD laws.

SPD candidate Georg Maier highlights contradictions in BSW's stance and opposes coalitions involving the AfD. In Thuringia, the CDU leads in polls, with the SPD and Greens striving for re-entry into parliament, while the BSW party maintains a notable 19-21% support.

The BSW party, with diverse candidates, has the potential to be a pivotal player in the upcoming state elections, yet its internal workings remain somewhat opaque.

However, besides the leading figure Sahra Wagenknecht, there are only a few well-known faces in the party, which appears to be a blackbox.
