In a historic move, the CDU, SPD, and BSW parties in Thuringia have reached an agreement to form a coalition government, marking the first time the Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) is part of a state government in Germany.

The coalition, dubbed the "Brombeer-Bündnis," has been facilitated by a "peace formula" negotiated by CDU leader Mario Voigt and BSW's Sahra Wagenknecht.

This formula addresses the contentious issue of U.

S. missile deployment in Germany, stating that such actions should not occur without German consent.

The coalition agreement includes several key policies, such as a ban on gender education in schools and restrictions on mobile phone use in primary schools.

Additionally, an amnesty law related to COVID-19 penalties is set to be reviewed.

Despite these agreements, the coalition lacks a majority in the state parliament, holding 44 out of 88 seats, and will need to seek support from other parties, such as the Left, to pass legislation.

The coalition aims to prevent the far-right AfD, the strongest party in the state, from gaining power.

Mario Voigt is expected to become the Minister-President, pending approval from the party bases.
