After the end of the exploratory talks with the CDU and SPD, the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW) does not want to tolerate a possible minority government of the two parties in Saxony. She does not believe that this could help the state move forward, BSW chairwoman Sabine Zimmermann told the "Sächsische Zeitung" and the "Leipziger Volkszeitung".
The regular support of a minority government by other parliamentary groups is referred to as toleration or acquiescence. Zimmermann went on to say that if good initiatives were to come from a coalition between the CDU and SPD, the BSW would not block them. "We also want to work constructively as the opposition in the state parliament."
Zimmermann was open to a two-party alliance with the CDU. "The exploratory talks have at least revealed a number of overlaps with the CDU," she said. However, Minister President Michael Kretschmer (CDU) had not yet asked the BSW. Zimmermann signaled a willingness to talk.
