Zerfall Thüringer BSW: Parteineugründung von Thüringer Ex-BSWlern im Eilverfahren
Die BSW-Landtagsfraktion und die Parteispitze in Thüringen sind zerverfallen. Nun gründen Ex-BSWler eine neue Partei mit Finanzministerin Wolf an der Spitze. Von einer Spontangründung ist die Rede.
In Erfurt, two days after Thuringian BSW members exited the party, a new political group called Thüringen.Gerecht was officially founded. The new leader, former BSW Land President and Finance Minister Katja Wolf, was chosen by the founding members, reported the Erfurt team. The party's establishment caught many former leaders off guard - it was described as "a spontaneous party formation".
Wolf had announced just the weekend before: "We must form the party as quickly as possible. Given the deadlines, we could manage it by October." The rapid creation of the new party is reportedly a response to the uncertain legal status of the BSW faction, which now only has two members left from its original twelve. The AfD faction has already demanded that the BSW faction have its funding removed, based on the state constitution.
Additionally, regular sessions of the Thuringian Landtag are scheduled for Wednesday to Friday, where the status of the BSW faction will also be discussed. According to a spokesperson for the founding members, Infrastructure Minister Steffen Schütz has been appointed as one of Wolf's deputies - Schütz had also left the BSW on Friday. "We promised to bring stability and reliability to Thuringia," Wolf declared in a statement.
