Party disputes: Two BSW people no longer support the Thuringian government
The red-green coalition in Thuringia has so far been governed with a stalemate. Now two members of the Sahra Wagenknecht alliance are withholding their support from the prime minister. What's next in Erfurt?
The Thuringian coalition government, known as the "Brombeer-Koalition", is facing instability. Two out of 15 members of the BSW party, Anke Wirsing and Sven Küntzel, have announced they no longer support CDU Minister-President Mario Voigt, leaving Voigt with only a minority government. The crisis was triggered by the decision of TU Chemnitz to withdraw Voigt's doctorate title, prompting BSW party leader Sahra Wagenknecht to call for an end to support for Voigt.
