BSW's Strategic Dilemma After Brandenburg Elections

Following the recent state elections in Brandenburg, the political landscape is at a crossroads. The Social Democratic Party (SPD) seeks to negotiate a coalition with the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and the Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW).

Together, SPD and BSW hold 46 of the 88 seats in the state parliament. However, BSW remains open to the possibility of stepping into the opposition role instead of forming a coalition.

This move keeps the political dynamics fluid, as a three-way coalition with the CDU is viewed critically by BSW leader Robert Crumbach, who opposes it to avoid leaving the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) as the sole opposition party.

SPD state premier Dietmar Woidke aims to discuss coalition possibilities with BSW founder Sahra Wagenknecht. The coming days will reveal whether BSW will join forces with SPD or choose to monitor from the opposition benches.
