Collapse of Thuringian BSW: Quick restart: Thuringian ex-BSWers found party
The BSW state parliamentary group and the party leadership in Thuringia have collapsed. Now, ex-BSW members are founding a new party with Finance Minister Wolf at the top. Why the foundation was carried out in an expedited procedure.
Ex-members of the BSW party in Thuringia, Germany, have founded a new party called Thüringen.Gerecht, two days after leaving BSW. Katja Wolf, former BSW state leader and finance minister, was elected chairwoman. The new party aims to support the government of CDU minister-president Mario Voigt, maintaining stability in Thuringia.
The move follows the BSW's collapse, which has put the status of its parliamentary faction and the coalition government at risk. A meeting of the BSW faction is scheduled for Monday to discuss next steps.
