In a significant political development in Thuringia, the BSW, CDU, and SPD have agreed to enter coalition negotiations, despite internal dissent within the BSW.

The decision, led by Thuringian BSW leaders Katja Wolf and Steffen Schütz, has been criticized by BSW's national figurehead, Sahra Wagenknecht, who labeled the agreement as a 'mistake.

' Wagenknecht argues that the coalition's preamble on issues of war and peace falls short compared to a recent compromise in Brandenburg.

The preamble does not explicitly criticize the stationing of American missiles in Germany, a point of contention for the BSW.

Despite the internal conflict, the Thuringian BSW is moving forward, emphasizing the importance of representing voter interests and aiming for a stable government.

The coalition talks are set to conclude by mid-November, with the potential for CDU's Mario Voigt to become the Minister-President.

However, the path to agreement remains fraught with challenges, as the BSW's commitment to its core peace policies is tested.
