Thuringia election: Ramelow plans surprising coalition for the preservation of power!

Thuringia election: Ramelow plans surprising coalition for the preservation of power!

The political situation in Thuringia has changed significantly with the recent election. For the first time in history, the alternative for Germany (AfD) became the strongest force in the state with 32.8 percent of the votes. This development gives the party around Björn Höcke new influence, but it seems to have difficulty finding suitable coalition partners.

The CDU, which became the second strongest party at 23.6 percent, originally expected a possible coalition with the BSW (15.8 percent) and the SPD (6.1 percent) to choose Mario Voigt as the new prime minister. However, such an alliance would have failed on a single mandate. On the election evening it turned out that the distribution of mandates thwarted the plans of the conservatives.

Ramelow's proposal by a red-red-red government

Bodo Ramelow, the prime minister of the Left Party, interferes in the heated discussions. He proposes an unusual coalition that provides for cooperation between the SPD, the BSW and its own party. In conclusion, he noticed: "If we are already in absurd things: The Prime Minister remains Bodo Ramelow. And SPD and BSW together form red-red-red." This constellation would represent a marginal minority government and represent the votes of 35 percent of those entitled to vote.

The possibility that CDU tolerates this proposal remains questionable, as there are some hurdles due to the incompatibility resolutions. Ramelow emphasizes that such cooperation for the CDU is not illegal and refers to the five -year collaboration that she previously practiced. In the meantime, the BSW could also raise demands on management positions with its strength. Katja Wolf, the top candidate of the BSW, should be interested in such a constellation because she could increase the pressure on Ramelow.

Current political uncertainty in Thuringia poses major challenges for the parties. The inability to form a sustainable coalition could have far -reaching consequences, both for the government and the political landscape in the state. The coming days are likely to show how the situation will develop and whether Ramelow's surprising proposal is met or whether the CDU continues to insist on a strict demarcation to the AfD.
