Coalition negotiations involving the CDU, SPD, and Sahra Wagenknecht’s BSW party face significant challenges in Saxony and Thuringia. Recent talks in Saxony have collapsed after BSW withdrew, citing a lack of agreement on peace policies. Meanwhile, Thuringia’s CDU leader Mario Voigt remains optimistic despite the growing complexities that threaten stability in the region amid broader national uncertainties. As BSW faces internal conflicts, the possibility of a CDU-SPD minority government emerges. Leaders are determined to continue negotiations in Brandenburg, emphasizing the potential for a coalition there despite the ongoing turmoil in neighboring states.
