Political Discussions and Campaigns in Germany

Recent political events in Brandenburg and Sachsen have sparked intense discussions and campaigns. Hans-Christoph Berndt, the lead candidate of AfD, left a talk show due to limited speaking opportunities.

CDU and BSW leaders in Sachsen met to explore possibilities of cooperation. The Left party criticized Tesla's working conditions in Brandenburg, while the CDU predicted the end of Olaf Scholz's chancellorship if the SPD loses in Brandenburg.

The struggle for government formation continues in Sachsen, where the CDU is dependent on the BSW. Furthermore, there were protests against right-wing politician Maximilian Krah in Düsseldorf, and SPD leadership changes in Rhein-Erft.

Bundeskanzler Scholz faces criticism and doubts within his own party. The polarization-driven strategies of Sahra Wagenknecht and the success of her BSW party have also been notable.

Mecklenburg-Vorpommern's employers' association emphasizes the need for better solutions and fair debates in politics.

Brandenburg: AfD Controversy at Election Debate in Potsdam

The controversial departure of AfD candidate Berndt from the election campaign talk in Brandenburg has sparked analysis and speculation. Brandenburger BSW leader Robert Crumbach has changed his stance on banning AfD and now plans to handle their proposals like any other. Brandenburg's SPD-Ministerpräsident, Dietmar Woidke, is taking a high-risk approach in his election campaign, with his political future at stake. Journalist Marcus Bensmann's investigation into the AfD's plans for mass deportations and climate change denial has led to large demonstrations and questioning of their narratives. The upcoming election in Brandenburg could potentially lead to legal challenges and even constitutional complaints due to the potential power imbalance caused by a combination of election circumstances. Horst Seehofer has criticized Angela Merkel for the rise of the AfD, attributing it to her 2015 migration policy decision.

AfD's Unsuccessful Talks with BSW and CDU

The Thuringian AfD, after becoming the strongest force in Erfurt, has reached out to the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW) and CDU for talks on government formation, but their invitations have been unsuccessful so far. The AfD, with its far-right member Björn Höcke, is isolated as no party in the state parliament wants to work with them. It is considered unlikely for the AfD, classified as securely right-wing extremist, to participate in the government. In Brandenburg, CDU, SPD, and BSW plan to strengthen the police and justice system, while the AfD and CDU advocate for the strict deportation of rejected asylum seekers. In a talk show, Sahra Wagenknecht, founder of BSW, faced criticism for her statements about Olaf Scholz and the planned deployment of US missiles in Germany. The FDP in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg has also proposed an AfD ban, considering them as a right-wing radical and fascist party. In Michendorf, the AfD has minimal success in the state election despite opposition from the local community.
