Even her cat is a conservativeEva von Angern, Spitzenkandidatin der Partei Die Linke für die Landtagswahl in Sachsen-Anhalt, diskutiert die Zusammenarbeit mit der CDU trotz innerparteilicher Widerstände. Während einige Mitglieder der Linke befürchten, dass eine Koalition mit der CDU die Partei überflüssig machen könne, betont von Angern, dass die Linke nicht einfach alles akzeptiere, was die CDU fordere. Gleichzeitig warnen linke Genoss:innen vor der CDU, da diese in ihrem Programm 'Abschiebungen forcieren' fordert. Die AfD, die aktuell über 40 % der Wählerstimmen hat, droht mit einer Alleinregierung und einer starken Auswirkung auf Flüchtlinge.

Left Party leader: Pantisano leaves the road to the CDU openFollowing the September elections, the Left Party faces coalition decisions in three federal states. In Saxony-Anhalt, the party must decide whether to cooperate with the CDU to prevent an AfD-led government, despite internal resistance. In Berlin, the party aims to form a coalition with the SPD and Greens, while in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, it seeks to continue its junior partnership with the SPD, possibly including the Greens. The situation in Saxony-Anhalt is particularly challenging due to opposition within the party to cooperation with the CDU. At the June party congress, efforts by western German associations to formally prohibit such cooperation were rejected, leaving the decision to individual state branches. New federal chairman Luigi Pantisano avoided creating new barriers toward CDU collaboration during his recent interview, emphasizing that the outcome depends on the CDU’s actions. This stance appears motivated by internal party dynamics rather than a genuine shift in position.
