Ministerpräsident: BSW für AfD-Einbindung nach Landtagswahl in Sachsen-Anhalt
Das BSW will das politische System in Sachsen-Anhalt umkrempeln – mit AfD-Beteiligung. Zur Wahl eines Ministerpräsidenten gibt es unterschiedliche Vorstellungen bei AfD und BSW.
The Ministerpräsident of Sachsen-Anhalt, Sahra Wagenknecht, has advocated for the inclusion of the AfD in the government after the state's Landtagswahl. Co-Vorsitzende Amira Mohamed Ali stated that their goal is to defeat the incumbent CDU leader, instead preferring an overparty premier who would govern with alternating majorities.
They are willing to include the AfD, even if one does not agree with their positions, as they would not ignore a party that has received around 40 percent of the votes. When asked if a BSW faction would choose AfD leader Ulrich Siegmund as Ministerpräsident in a third round, she said they would withhold their vote if other parties reject their model.
In a third round, a majority of the votes cast in Sachsen-Anhalt would be enough for Siegmund to become Premier, provided he runs in the third round. However, the AfD politician opposes such a course of action, stating he would not be "naturally" chosen as Premier by a BSW abstention in the third round. Instead, he aims for an independent government of his party, believing a stable team for over five years is necessary.
The Landtagswahl will take place on September 6th in Sachsen-Anhalt, where the AfD is polling around the 40 percent mark compared to the CDU. The BSW faces the challenge of the five-percent hurdle to gain entry to Parliament.
