Wahl in Sachsen-Anhalt: Linken-Chef schließt Unterstützung für CDU nicht aus
In vier Wochen wird in Sachsen-Anhalt gewählt. Um eine AfD-Regierung zu verhindern, müssten CDU und Linke wohl zusammenarbeiten. Die einen sagen nicht Nein.
In the German state of Sachsen-Anhalt, Luigi Pantisano, the leader of the Left (Linke) party, has not ruled out supporting the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) for a Minister-President position. Speaking in a ZDF interview, Pantisano emphasized that the Left has demonstrated responsibility for the region over the past years. This stance is particularly relevant if it involves preventing an AfD-led government.
The state is set to elect a new Landtag (parliament) on September 6th. Recent polls suggest that the CDU's main candidate, current Minister-President Sven Schulze, may only secure re-election with the backing of the Left party. The CDU has consistently refused to cooperate with either the Linke or the AfD parties. Pantisano now wonders if Schulze would be willing to assume responsibility following the election.
According to current polls, the AfD leads in Sachsen-Anhalt with a significant advantage, while the Left party ranks third.
