BSW crisis: Ex-BSW members want to continue governing in Thuringia
The conflict between the top of the BSW and the Thuringian state association has consequences: More BSW state parliamentarians are turning their backs on the party. They want to continue to support the government.
The majority of the disintegrating Thuringian BSW faction plans to continue supporting the state government led by CDU Minister-President Mario Voigt. The faction's current leader, Sigrid Hupach, stated that they will continue with the coalition. The faction has lost most of its members, with only two remaining out of the original 15, and will decide on its future next week.
The party's state chairwoman, Katja Wolf, who is also Finance Minister and Deputy Minister-President, announced that she and the rest of the executive board will resign.
