AfD (Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht) and BSW have begun exploring the possibilities of cooperation in forming a new government in Saxony-Anhalt. AfD won the state election by a wide margin, but it lacks the mandates needed for an absolute majority in the state parliament. Die Zeit ↗
BSW's state chairman John Lucas Dittrich said that AfD does not yet have a clear idea of how to proceed further. According to him, it is not clear what the party wants to achieve in negotiations on possible cooperation. Both parties are therefore examining shared political positions and the conditions for a potential agreement. Spiegel.de ↗
At the same time, BSW emphasizes that concrete political questions are more important in the negotiations than the speed of forming a government. The party first wants to determine whether its positions align with AfD's program in the areas that would be decisive for any potential cooperation. Tagesspiegel ↗
The election result has put AfD in a key position in forming a government in Magdeburg. However, since it did not win an absolute majority, it needs the support of another party or a broader coalition. Further developments will depend on whether BSW and AfD find sufficient common ground on a shared political direction. n-tv ↗
