Ulrike Liedtke Seeks Re-election as State Parliament President

Ulrike Liedtke, the State Parliament President in Brandenburg, aims for a second term, focusing on enhancing political education, establishing citizens' councils, and strengthening international partnerships, notably with Poland. Meanwhile, Ina Brandes, the CDU's Minister of Science, is set to become a new member of the State Parliament in Dortmund.

The CDU in Lower Saxony criticizes the reduced parliamentary sessions, accusing the ruling SPD and Green coalition of stifling opposition voices by limiting debate opportunities. This move comes as the CDU's proposal to amend parliamentary rules for more debate opportunities was rejected, leading to a decrease in the number of sitting days in the last two years.

The CDU has emerged as the winner of the state election in Saxony, securing 41 seats, while the AfD came in second with 40 seats.

The BSW secured 11.8% of the vote, the SPD received 7.3%, the Greens received 5.1%, and the Left fell below the 5% threshold.
