After the state election: BSW enters talks with AfD in Saxony-Anhalt

The BSW party in Saxony-Anhalt plans to hold talks with the AfD after the state election, despite other parties declining the AfD's offer of discussions. The BSW will discuss topics such as energy supply, education, and peace policy with the AfD. The party's top candidate, Thomas Schulze, criticized other parties for rejecting the AfD's offer, calling it a bad sign for democratic culture.

The AfD won 39 seats in the state parliament, falling short of an absolute majority, while the CDU has 15 seats, and SPD, Linke, and Grüne each have 8.
