Magdeburg parliamentary bureau: Leftists outraged by collusion between AfD and BSW

Following the AfD's victory in the state election in Saxony-Anhalt, the new state parliament is being constituted, raising concerns among the Left Party. The Left Party has expressed outrage over alleged agreements between the AfD and the BSW regarding the composition of the parliamentary presidency. According to Eva von Angern, leader of the Left faction in Saxony-Anhalt, both parties are collaborating to reshape the parliament according to their preferences. This includes granting the AfD the right to propose a vice president of the state parliament for the first time, potentially allowing the BSW to secure a vice president through AfD support. The AfD currently holds 39 seats, while the CDU, Left, Greens, and SPD together hold 39 seats. The BSW has five representatives. To achieve a majority, 42 votes are needed. Representatives from the AfD and BSW are exploring potential cooperation, although BSW leader Amira Mohamed Ali has ruled out forming a coalition with the AfD.
