In a significant political development, the Thuringian Constitutional Court has ruled in favor of the CDU in its dispute with the AfD over the parliamentary session's agenda.

The court's decision mandates that the AfD's senior president, Jürgen Treutler, must allow a vote on an updated agenda, paving the way for the election of a new parliamentary president.

This ruling comes after a chaotic session where Treutler repeatedly blocked a CDU and BSW proposal to allow all factions to nominate candidates for the presidency from the first round of voting.

The court's unanimous decision enables the parliament to amend its rules before electing its leadership, addressing the crisis that had drawn national attention.

The SPD and other parties welcomed the ruling, emphasizing the importance of adhering to democratic principles and procedures.
