Wahl des Staatsoberhaupts: BSW-Spitze kritisiert Nominierung von Constantin Schreiber
Die sächsische BSW-Fraktion nominiert den Journalisten Constantin Schreiber für die Bundesversammlung – doch die Parteichefs halten die Personalie für nicht überzeugend. Was sie daran kritisieren.
Dresden and Berlin - The selection of Constantin Schreiber as the nominee for the Bundesversammlung has sparked controversy within the BSW. Party leaders Fabio De Masi and Amira Mohamed Ali have publicly criticized the nomination, stating, "We view this nomination critically." They explain that Schreiber has since clarified that he does not agree with key positions of the BSW on matters such as the Middle East, the Ukraine war, and economic policy.
Consequently, they argue that this individual is not a suitable choice. The BSW faction in the Saxon Landtag nominated the 47-year-old. Once nominated, the group will select the next Federal President or Federal President on January 30th. Upon learning of the nomination, Schreiber distanced himself from the BSW's positions and announced his intention to propose an alternative candidate for the role of Federal President.
Saxon BSW faction leader Ronny Kupke justified the nomination by asserting that the Bundesversammlung should also reflect diverse opinions. However, De Masi and Mohamed Ali maintain that representation of diverse opinions does not equate to license for any stance. They reaffirm their continued opposition to the genocide in Gaza and Germany's complicity through weapons supply.
