Thuringia is witnessing a period of political upheaval. The 2020 election of Thomas Kemmerich as Minister-President with AfD support, and the subsequent resignation of CDU chairwoman Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, highlighted deep political divides.
The CDU and BSW now propose changes to the election process for Landtag President to avoid prolonged disputes, with the SPD and other parties supporting their candidate. Meanwhile, the rise of the AfD, particularly among young voters, has sparked significant concern.
Ostbeauftragter Carsten Schneider warns of an exodus due to AfD successes, while the Verfassungsschutz Brandenburg reports an increase in right-wing extremists within the AfD’s ranks. Demonstrations against the AfD have taken place, reflecting widespread unease.
The CDU's decision to end its coalition with the SPD in Schwalbach further adds to the political instability. As Thuringia navigates these challenges, the focus remains on ensuring democracy and preventing further polarization.
