Landtag: Regierungskrise in Thüringen – SPD bleibt in der Koalition
Der Zerfall der BSW-Landtagsfraktion in Erfurt sorgt für eine Krise der Koalitionsregierung in Thüringen. Nun hat sich die SPD entschieden, wie sie damit umgeht.
Erfurt – The Social Democratic Party (SPD) in Thuringia remains committed to the coalition government despite plans to dissolve the BSW (Basiswahlen) faction, according to SPD Landeshauptmann and Interior Minister Georg Maier. Maier stated to the German Press Agency in Erfurt that the SPD stands for reliability, clear stance, and a concrete design will in this government.
The SPD leadership and district chairmen discussed the government crisis in Thuringia on Monday evening after a large portion of the BSW members left the Wagenknecht Party. The CDU, BSW, and SPD have been governing together in Thuringia since the end of 2024. The SPD once again called for a binding dialogue format with the Left Party faction, as the coalition loses votes due to the BSW's dissolution appearances and is now even more dependent on the support of the opposition Left Party.
The so-called Brombeer (elderberry) coalition has 44 out of 88 seats in the Landtag so far, but in the worst-case scenario, it could drop to 39. "The CDU is urged to resolve the contradiction between its practical incompatibility strategy and the necessary parliamentary reconciliation," the Social Democrats explained.
