Font size

After the state elections, the Greens in Saxony-Anhalt have shown themselves to be open to a non-partisan Prime Minister. “It wouldn’t fail because of us,” said top candidate Susan Sziborra-Seidlitz to the taz. At the same time, a prime minister who governs the country without a coalition is "a very unusual idea."

According to the newspaper, the Green politician referred to the difficult majority situation in the state parliament in Magdeburg. A coalition against the AfD does not have a majority. That's why the proposal that was first put forward by the BSW is "the last straw if we want to prevent both a fascist government and a blockade in the country."

Open Questions

  • ?Who could serve as a non-partisan candidate?
  • ?How do the other parties react to the proposal?
