BSW leadership resigns: Thuringian coalition in crisis mode - What's next
In Thuringia, the BSW had a glorious election result in 2024. But now, a long-standing dispute between the state association and the party founder Wagenknecht is escalating. Is it the end for the "blackberry" in Erfurt?
The coalition government in Thuringia, led by CDU's Mario Voigt, is facing a crisis after the BSW party's leadership and most of its lawmakers quit the party. The move follows a long-standing feud between BSW founder Sahra Wagenknecht and Thuringia's party leader Katja Wolf. The opposition Left party says the coalition has collapsed, but Voigt intends to continue governing. The coalition's majority has been reduced, and its future is uncertain.
