Saxony-Anhalt: BSW wants to allow AfD Prime Ministers if necessaryIn Sachsen-Anhalt wird kurz vor der Landtagswahl am 6. September 2026 diskutiert, ob die Bündnis Südwest (BSW)-Partei unter bestimmten Umständen einen AfD-Kandidaten als Ministerpräsidenten akzeptieren würde. Die BSW-Gründerin Sahra Wagenknecht betont, dass es undemokratisch wäre, eine Partei mit 40 Prozent der Stimmen dauerhaft auszuschließen. Sie erwägt, bei der Wahl des Ministerpräsidenten im dritten Wahlgang zu enthalten, was theoretisch einen AfD-Kandidaten zur Regierungschefschaft führen könnte. Laut einer aktuellen Insa-Umfrage könnte die AfD 42 Prozent der Stimmen erreichen, während die BSW nur fünf Prozent bekommt. Die AfD strebt eine Alleinregierung an und möchte erstmals in Deutschland einen Ministerpräsidenten stellen.

Exit wave at the BSW Saxony-Anhalt: the exodus of the Wagenknecht fansVor der Landtagswahl in Sachsen-Anhalt tritt eine Gruppe von drei Kreisvorsitzenden der Wagenknecht-Partei (BSW) sowie 18 weitere Mitglieder aus. Sie beschuldigen die Landesspitze der Partei, einen autoritären Führungsstil zu praktizieren und sich zunehmend der AfD anzunähern, die in Sachsen-Anhalt als rechtsextrem eingeordnet wird. Die BSW-Verantwortlichen betonen jedoch, sie bleibe in ihrer Haltung zur AfD uneindeutig und erwäge nicht, für CDU-Ministerpräsident Sven Schulze zu stimmen. Gleichzeitig erwägen sie, möglicherweise nicht für den AfD-Kandidaten Ulrich Siegmund zu stimmen, um ihn trotzdem eventuell zum Ministerpräsidenten zu machen. Die Partei folgt der Linie ihrer Gründerin Sahra Wagenknecht, die den Sturz von Kanzler Merz und die Abwahl von Schulze als strategisches Ziel verfolgt.

Antifas in Saxony-Anhalt: pressure against the rightIn Sachsen-Anhalt, a region in Germany, the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) is gaining significant support, with recent polls suggesting they could win a majority in the upcoming state election on September 6th.
