The Alternative for Germany (AfD) and the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW) parties want to push through a joint call to end military and financial aid to Ukraine at a special session of the state parliament in Saxony-Anhalt. The session takes place on Wednesday, October 14, approximately a week after the parliament's constituent meeting. Tagesspiegel ↗
The proposal also envisages halting sanctions against Russia and restoring trade relations with Moscow. Both parties thus want to influence Germany's stance on Russian aggression against Ukraine at the state level. zpravy.aktualne.cz ↗
The AfD belongs to the far-right parties, while the BSW is associated with a left-wing orientation in the German political landscape. Their joint action therefore represents cooperation between parties from different political camps. The proposal concerns primarily further support for Ukraine and relations with Russia. ihned.cz ↗
The special session is focused on the war in Ukraine, aid to the invaded country, and sanctions policy toward Russia. The outcome of the vote and whether the proposal gains the necessary support will be decided by the members of the state parliament. Measures adopted at the Saxony-Anhalt level would primarily have political and symbolic significance, since foreign policy falls under the jurisdiction of the federal government.
