According to media reports, the AfD and Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) in Saxony-Anhalt have agreed on a demand to set up an inquiry committee into the authorities' conduct during the COVID-19 pandemic. The proposal is one of the issues on which the parties found common ground during talks on possible cooperation. Deutschlandfunk ↗
However, the BSW at the same time rejects forming a coalition with the AfD. According to its statements so far, the party wants to examine individual political issues and assess any support on the basis of substance, not the speed of forming a government. Spiegel.de ↗
Differences between the parties persist over the future of the public broadcaster MDR. According to reports, the AfD and BSW have not yet agreed on how the broadcaster should be reformed or what approach the state parliament should take on the matter. Tagesspiegel ↗
BSW state chair John Lucas Dittrich continues to claim that the AfD has no clear idea of how it intends to proceed. In his view, it is unclear what the party wants to achieve in the talks on cooperation in the state parliament. The BSW therefore prefers substantive negotiations to an agreement on a joint governing arrangement. Die Zeit ↗
After winning the state election, the AfD did not obtain an absolute majority and needs the support of other members of parliament to form a government. Further developments will show whether the parties manage to extend their agreement to questions of public broadcasting and other conditions for the functioning of state politics. n-tv ↗
