The Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW) in Saxony is ready for exploratory talks with the CDU and SPD to form a joint government and continues to see peace policy as a central issue. "In the exploratory talks, we will therefore ensure that a coalition agreement contains our peace policy principles. We will not enter any government without a clear commitment to peace policy," said state chairwoman Sabine Zimmermann to the German Press Agency.
On Thursday evening, the BSW board voted unanimously in favor of entering into official exploratory talks. At the same time, the state executive committee of the Social Democrats voted in favor - but not unanimously. With 15 votes in favor, there were two abstentions and two votes against. The CDU has yet to vote. As things stand, the exploratory talks could begin next week. Previously, there had been several introductory talks, which resulted in a position paper.
