The SPD state executive recommends that its members accept the coalition agreement with the CDU. "As the SPD, we take responsibility for Saxony," said Chairman Henning Homann in a statement. They will ensure that there is no cooperation and no majorities with the far-right AfD in the future. "This is our historic responsibility."
The result of the state elections poses major challenges for all democratic forces, according to the resolution passed by the SPD state executive. "With the coalition, we are taking on a shaping role with investments in the future."
It was not possible to push through all ideas and goals, which is part of the nature of a coalition. In addition, everyone must be aware "that as part of a minority government, we are dependent on the democratic opposition groups."
