Saxon Coalition Talks Collapse Over Key Issues

Published: 2024-11-06

In Saxony, Germany, coalition talks between the CDU, Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW), and SPD have collapsed.

The negotiations ended without agreement on critical issues such as peace, migration, and finances.

BSW accused the potential partners of failing to commit to peace, especially concerning the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

This failure leaves Saxony's political future uncertain, with options limited to forming a minority government or calling new elections.

The CDU has ruled out alliances with the AfD and the Left, complicating the path forward.

The deadline for electing a new minister-president is February 2025, after which new elections may be necessary.
