AfD and BSW: CDU warns: “It grows together what belongs together”

AfD and BSW approach. Most recently there were talks in Thuringia, now contacts are being discussed at the federal level. The CDU sees an ominous alliance.

The approach of AfD and BSW at federal level triggers worries, especially in the east of Germany. A political alliance could endanger existing coalitions in Brandenburg and Thuringia and ensure new majorities in the elections in Saxony-Anhalt and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania for extreme rights.

“What belongs together is growing together,” criticizes Sepp Müller, Vice-Bundestag parliamentary group leader of the Union for East Germany. “The right want to destroy our democracy, and Sahra Wagenknecht’s movement does not pursue any other course,” says the Saxony-Anhalt that star. “A clear compass is all the more important: we gain trust with fixed values ​​and attitude.” This was also shown by the current surveys.

AfD and BSW want to talk more together

AfD boss Tino Chrupalla had previously reported on the talks of his party with that of Wagenknecht. The content of the meetings was the question of “how to change majorities”. The AfD faces the problem that no party has to coalize it so far. She has right -wing extremists, convicted forcessers and violent offenders in her ranks and is now classified by the protection of the constitution as secure right -wing extremist.

BSW boss Wagenknecht contradicted the star The presentation that there are “currently” discussions at the federal level. Of course, she would basically talk to Tino Chrupalla, said the party leader. The debate was triggered by a meeting of the Thuringian BSW parliamentary group leader Frank Augsten with the AfD parliamentary group leader and right-wing extremist Björn Höcke.

BSW man Augsten said, according to a message that he and Höcke had “spoken constructively and openly about our different perspectives, problems and perspectives of current state politics”. Höcke denied that the AfD was interested in the fact that the state does not work.

Wagenknecht no longer excludes coalitions

The occasion of the talks were mutual blockages of elections in the Thuringian state parliament. Since AfD MPs were not elected in office, the party boycotted votes in their part. Wagenknecht had praised the meeting of the two politicians. The fire wall is undemocratic. “The AfD has increased the fire wall policy and should not be continued!” star.

At the federal level, possible conversations have no meaning for the time being. The BSW had just failed because of the five percent hurdle in the Bundestag election. However, a new nationwide line of the party in dealing with the AfD could change the political majorities in state parliament. Coalitions with the AfD most recently referred to Wagenknecht compared to the “Zeit” as “not very obvious”.

However, she did not want to completely rule out a collaboration. The threatening backdrop remains.
