BSW Faces Internal Strife Over Coalition Talks

Published: 2024-10-31

The BSW party in Thuringia is facing internal conflict as it navigates coalition negotiations with the CDU and SPD.

Party leader Sahra Wagenknecht has criticized the Thuringian branch for its vague stance on foreign policy, particularly regarding the Russian aggression in Ukraine.

Wagenknecht insists that the party must clarify its positions or consider moving to the opposition.

Despite this, Thuringian BSW leader Katja Wolf has pushed forward with the negotiations, emphasizing the importance of forming a stable government.

The party's national board has expressed dissatisfaction with the current compromise, highlighting the need for clear commitments on issues like social housing and constitutional protection.

The situation remains tense as the party grapples with balancing internal expectations and external political pressures.
