Gatherings or social events - MDR presenter considers running for BSW in the state parliament.
The TV host Steffen Quasebarth from MDR is allegedly campaigning for a spot in the Thuringia state parliament as part of the Left Party (Die Linke) group led by Sahra Wagenknecht. According to a recent discussion with "Stern," he has always desired to engage in politics. His aim is to secure one of the top five spots on the BSW (Left Party) list for the September 1st elections. He said, "Sahra Wagenknecht invited me to participate in her party with this stipulation." The BSW is scheduled to assemble their Thuringia state election list on Saturday. Katja Wolf, Eisenach's mayor and a former Left Party member, is predicted to take the top position.
Quasebarth has been presenting "Thuringia Journal" on MDR for a considerable length of time. In a "Stern" interview, he disclosed his intention to focus on education and media policies - "and the connection between the two." He also dismissed any potential collaborations with the AfD (Alternative for Germany).
