The Saxon Greens are sceptical about a possible minority government consisting of the CDU and SPD and are sharply critical of both parties. At a state assembly in Chemnitz, Justice Minister Katja Meier, who is still in office, questioned a re-election of CDU leader Michael Kretschmer as Minister President with votes from the Greens. Should Kretschmer stand for election in December, "from today's perspective, we Greens can only say no", said Meier to applause from the delegates.
After failed exploratory talks with the Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) alliance, the CDU and SPD are seeking a minority government in Saxony. The previous Kenya coalition of CDU, Greens and SPD no longer had a majority in the state elections in September. Kretschmer had repeatedly attacked the Greens sharply during the election campaign.
