AfD and BSW: Power struggle in the east comes to a head!
Brandenburg, Deutschland - In Germany it is bubbled politically-especially in the east, where the Image Alliance for social justice (BSW) reports. These political actors are not only looking for similarities, but also for opportunities to gain influence and to get power. The conversations between leading representatives of both parties testify to a remarkable openness that could shape the political landscape.
In cities and municipalities in Saxony, Thuringia, Saxony-Anhalt and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, the separation between the AfD and the CDU is increasingly blurred. Rumors that the BSW could act as a possible partner of the AfD are increasing. And while the CDU wants to differentiate itself from the AfD, the next election is approaching: In 2026, the votes of these two parties in Saxony-Anhalt could reach 38%. In Thuringia and Brandenburg, the values are even higher - 41% or 46%.
Corona committee and political cooperation
A concrete example of this collaboration is the latest coordination in the Saxony state parliament. MPs of ZDF and AfD voted together for a committee of inquiry on the corona pandemic, which is considered a minority law. The AfD has enforced an application for which it needed at least 24 votes - in fact there were 40 MPs who supported their application.
But the joint activities are not limited to parliamentary applications. In Thuringia, AfD and BSW agreed on a joint committee for dealing with Corona policy. BSW chairwoman Sabine Zimmermann criticized the AfD with regard to past inactivity, but this likes to eat rolls on Sunday and use the current economic misery to generate votes.
contrasts and similarities
Although the AfD is often considered extremely right and the BSW as left -wing populist, there are only slight differences between the two parties in central questions such as migration and climate policy. DetailsOrt Brandenburg, Deutschland Quellen
