Es scheint an diesem Abend des 6. September 2026 kurz, als gäbe es zwei Deutschlands. Aus dem einen Deutschland, das vom Münchner Rio-Kino viele Hundert Kilometer entfernt liegt, kommen die ersten Meldungen, dass fast 44 Prozent der Wähler in Sachsen-Anhalt für die dort als gesichert rechtsextrem eingestufte AfD gestimmt haben; also jene Partei, deren früherer Bundesvorsitzender Alexander Gauland sagte: „Hitler und die Nazis sind nur ein Vogelschiss in über 1000 Jahren erfolgreicher deutscher Geschichte.“

Saxony-Anhalt: Coalition loses majority, BSW could have a decisive influence on the formation of a government

The coalition of CDU, SPD and FDP lost its majority in the state elections in Saxony-Anhalt. The CDU and SPD only have 23 of the 83 seats, the FDP has been eliminated. The AfD also does not have a majority. The five representatives of the BSW could be the deciding factor in forming a government. The state parliament must be constituted within 30 days. The senior president is the longest-serving member of parliament. The rules of procedure must be re-adopted. The BSW could support the AfD by abstaining. A caretaker prime minister could remain in office until a new one is elected, possibly for years. The election of the Prime Minister follows a rigid schedule with possible dissolution options after failed ballots.
