Party disputes: Bramble coalition is crumbling: Two BSW people are breaking away
The BSW parliamentary group in the Thuringian state parliament has decided with an overwhelming majority to continue the coalition with the CDU and SPD. Two MPs were absent. And are now speaking out.
Thuringia's coalition government, known as the "Brombeer-Koalition", is facing instability. Two BSW lawmakers, Anke Wirsing and Sven Küntzel, have announced they will no longer support Premier Mario Voigt, leaving him at the head of a minority government. The coalition, comprising CDU, SPD, and BSW, currently holds 44 out of 88 seats in the Erfurt state parliament. The BSW infighting was sparked by Voigt having his doctorate revoked by TU Chemnitz, prompting the party leadership to call for an end to support for him.
