In the Thuringian state parliament (Landtag), the attempt by Björn Höcke, leader of the far-right AfD party, to vote down Minister-President Bodo Ramelow (SPD) failed again.

This follows previous attempts by Höcke to challenge the leadership, reflecting ongoing tensions within the state legislature between the ruling coalition and opposition parties. The outcome underscores the continued dominance of the SPD in Thuringia despite rising support for far-right alternatives.
