Co-chair of BSW Mohamed Ali expresses readiness for an alliance with CDU
Chairperson of BSW, Sahra Wagenknecht, set a prerequisite for state-level alliances that any prospective coalition partners must oppose the placement of US intermediate-range missiles in Germany and additional weapon deliveries to Ukraine. According to Mohamed Ali's analysis of foreign policy requirements, it's now the responsibility of potential coalition partners, primarily the CDU, to visualize this scenario. Notably, indications have arisen from Saxony's State President Michael Kretschmer (CDU) that he aligns with this stance as well, noted Mohamed Ali.**
In the recent elections on Sunday, the newly established BSW chalked up double-digit scores in both states. The CDU emerged victorious in Saxony, barely surpassing the AfD, while in Thuringia, the AfD clinched the top spot with a significant margin over the CDU.
The CDU, being a potential coalition partner in Germany, needs to align with Chairperson Wagenknecht's stance and oppose the deployment of US intermediate-range missiles in Germany. Despite the CDU's victory in Saxony, State President Kretschmer's indications suggest a shared view with Wagenknecht's prerequisite.
