Thüringen: Drei Abgeordnete verlassen Thüringer BSW-Fraktion – Was passiert jetzt mit Voigts Regierung?

Erfurt – Three Thuringian BSW lawmakers have left their party and faction, according to the faction leader Sigrid Hupach's announcement in the Landtag. The departure of Stefan Wogawa, Dirk Hoffmeister, and Roberto Kobelt reduces the faction's membership from 15 to 12. The trio claims they have founded a new party named "Deine Stimme zählt," with Dirk Hoffmeister as the party's federal chairman.

The faction's planned parliamentary group will also carry this name. Hoffmeister stated that they aim to implement politics that listen to the people, prioritize the common good over exclusion, and focus on reason over exclusion. They will not reject a reasonable proposal just because it comes from a seemingly opposing party. Wogawa, who has been the parliamentary business manager of the Thuringian BSW faction, said they do not intend to make a 180-degree turn in parliamentary work.

"Currently, we see the greatest alignment with the coalition government," he added. They want to examine all proposals and then engage with the proposers.
