Parteien: Ex-BSWler in Thüringen gründen neue Partei
Nach ihrem Austritt aus dem BSW in Thüringen haben Ex-Mitglieder die neue Partei Thüringen.Gerecht gegründet. Die neue Partei könnte die Regierung stützen.
In Thuringia, the majority of the BSW faction in the state parliament is leaving the party. On Friday, ten lawmakers and the entire state executive announced their departure from the BSW. Three members had already left the once strong 15-member faction on Wednesday, also declaring their exit from the BSW. Despite this, the faction will continue to exist, according to Fraktion leader Sigrid Hupach, who emphasized this during an emergency press conference.
They intend to discuss the next steps during a faction meeting with the current twelve members in the coming week. State Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Minister-President Katja Wolf stated that the federal party has moved away from the "foundational consensus." There is no longer a shared path for them with the Berlin party leadership.
The people did not vote for the BSW for "flirts with right-wing radicals." Party founder Sahra Wagenknecht had previously announced that her members might support an AfD government after the election in Saxony-Anhalt. Wolf also said that a new process for Thuringia was beginning, without being more specific. However, they remain committed to the state government and feel obligated to the coalition agreement.
It remains unclear if a new party will emerge – only within the BSW is the situation continuing. Wolf deliberately kept her comments vague.
