After the state election: Schulze wants Saxony-Anhalt to give up its chairmanship of the MPK
From the beginning of October, Saxony-Anhalt is to take over the chairmanship of the conference of prime ministers in rotation. The current prime minister wants to give it up.
Sven Schulze, the outgoing Minister-President of Saxony-Anhalt, has proposed that his state give up its scheduled chairmanship of the Minister-President Conference (MPK) starting in October. This follows the recent state election, which saw the AfD make significant gains. Schulze wrote to the current MPK chairman, Gordon Schnieder, citing uncertainty over the formation of a new government in Saxony-Anhalt and concerns that it would be difficult to prepare for the MPK under these circumstances.
He has asked Rhineland-Palatinate to raise the issue with Lower Saxony and propose a solution at the annual meeting of state government leaders.
