BSW in Saxony wants to remain constructive in minority government

In the opinion of the BSW, the red-black coalition means "pure standstill"

Zimmermann accused the SPD of once again acting as a majority procurer for the CDU and "paying for it with ministerial and state secretary posts". Black-Red as a minority government in Saxony meant "pure standstill". Anyone who had hoped for the most important problems in the state to be tackled will be disappointed.

"The minority government only has one good side: now the CDU and SPD, who have run the state down for ten years of joint government, have to come to an agreement with the BSW on every single law they want to pass in the state parliament," Zimmermann emphasized.

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 ruled out an alliance with the AfD and the Left Party, the only option for a majority government was an alliance between the CDU, BSW and SPD. However, the exploratory talks failed the previous week because no agreement could be reached on issues such as peace policy, migration and finances.
