Party squabbles: Cancellation of Berlin: Thuringian BSW faction remains in coalition
The federal executive board of the BSW wants the Thuringian BSW parliamentary group to withdraw from the "bramble coalition". A large majority of the members of parliament rejects this. Is a special party conference coming now?
The Thuringian parliamentary group of the BSW party has decided to stick with the so-called "Brombeer coalition" with the CDU and SPD, despite a contrary decision by the party's federal leadership. The decision was made with all 13 attending members of the group in favor, with two members absent. The BSW's federal leadership had called for the state association to withdraw support for CDU Minister-President Mario Voigt, whose doctorate was revoked by the TU Chemnitz, and to leave the coalition. A special party conference may be convened to discuss the issue further.
