The Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) alliance remains a red rag for parts of the CDU. It is a question of "political hygiene" whether to form a government with the BSW, explained the strongly conservative Heimatunion within the Saxon CDU and suggested a survey of members on the subject. This would be "a sovereign sign of democratic action and would certainly counteract a split in the party".
In the state elections on September 1, the CDU was the strongest party in Saxony with 31.9 percent of the vote, ahead of the AfD (30.6 percent). As the CDU categorically rules out an alliance with the AfD and the Left Party, only an alliance between the CDU, BSW and SPD is an option for a majority government. A continuation of the current coalition of CDU, Greens and SPD is not enough.
In the opinion of the Heimatunion, a "center-red-dark-red government" would contradict the will of the majority of voters. "Frustration and further radicalization would be the inevitable result. In the long term, this would cause great damage not only to Saxony, but also to democracy," it said. The statement is already widespread: "No matter what we vote for, we will always get left-wing or green parties in government."
