The Saxon Landtag has approved a parliamentary inquiry into the handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, following a proposal by the AfD.
The decision, supported by some BSW members, has led to significant political fallout.
The SPD has suspended coalition talks with the CDU and BSW, citing the latter's support for the AfD's proposal as a breach of trust.
The SPD argues that the BSW's alignment with the AfD undermines potential coalition negotiations.
Meanwhile, the CDU and SPD are advocating for an alternative approach through an Enquete Commission to learn from the pandemic.
The political landscape in Saxony remains tense as parties navigate these developments.
