  • In Berlin’s state election three weeks ago, The Left became the strongest party with Elif Eralp as its lead candidate.

  • On Thursday, The Left, Greens and SPD agreed to begin exploratory talks on a red-green-red alliance.

  • Parliamentary managers are to review antisemitic incidents first; a three-member expert panel can assess them before the affected faction decides.

  • Ramelow called criticism from Bundestag members outside the state association inappropriate.
  • If the Left propagates a one-state solution, that implies the annihilation of Israel, and that is not acceptable.

  • According to Schuster, a campaign rally featured calls for the intifada and the deaths of Israeli soldiers.

  • Ramelow urged potential coalition partners to negotiate, citing Eralp’s five-point plan against antisemitism.

  • The state election in two weeks could put the CDU under pressure because its incompatibility resolution is intended to rule out cooperation with both the AfD and the Left Party.

  • The platform scheduled for presentation in Berlin on August 24, 2026, includes 750 additional school social-work positions, free kindergarten lunches, increased support for fire services and a future fund.

  • In recent months, Ines Schwerdtner, Heidi Reichinnek, Gregor Gysi, Dietmar Bartsch and Bodo Ramelow appeared alongside lead candidate Eva von Angern.

  • CDU state legislator Tobias Krull considers talks with the Left Party necessary but rules out a joint government, while a CDU-led minority government could potentially depend on Left Party votes.
  • Ultimately there is no real difference between the CDU, which pursues fascist policies, the AfD, or the fascists themselves.

  • On Wednesday evening, August 12, Björn Höcke published a two-minute video urging Sahra Wagenknecht to become Thuringia’s minister president.

  • The AfD and the Wagenknecht faction would theoretically hold a three-seat majority in the 88-member state parliament, with 32 and 15 lawmakers respectively, while the CDU-SPD-BSW coalition has 44 votes.

  • Wagenknecht rejected the offer, saying that most BSW lawmakers in the state parliament oppose the party’s federal executive and would not vote for her.

  • The proposal is linked to an announced constructive vote of no confidence by the AfD against Thuringia’s CDU Minister President Mario Voigt after Chemnitz University of Technology rejected his appeal against the revocation of his doctorate.
  • The office of Thuringia's Minister-President is not a trophy that Mr. Höcke can award at will.
