Landtag: Großteil der BSW-Fraktion in Erfurt verlässt Partei – Zukunft der Landesregierung unklar
Die BSW-Fraktion in Erfurt zerfällt. Nach dem Austritt von mindestens zwölf Abgeordneten steht die Zukunft der Landesregierung von Mario Voigt infrage.
Erfurt, Thuringia - The majority of the BSW (Bündnis 90/Die Grünen) group in the Thuringian Landtag are set to leave the party, leaving the future of the regional government uncertain. On Friday, ten members of parliament, including the party's deputy leader and former faction leader, announced their departure from the BSW. Three members had already left the party just days prior, ending their association with the BSW as well.
Fraktion leader Sigrid Hupach emphasized that the faction would continue to exist, but no concrete decisions were made until a meeting of the twelve remaining members in the upcoming week. In an hastily called press conference, Hupach stated that the group was leaving the party. Party leader Katja Wolf noted that the federal party had moved away from the "foundation consensus," and there was no longer a common path with the Berlin party leadership.
She added that a new process for Thuringia was beginning, without delving into specifics. However, the party still maintained its commitment to the coalition agreement.
It remains unclear whether a new party will emerge from the BSW - the party leader explicitly stated she would be cautious about making definitive pronouncements.
