Key FactsGuido Heuer rejects CDU boycott plan for December

Summary created with AI assistance · Source: welt.de
- The CDU parliamentary group plans to leave the chamber together during the first two ballots; Heuer says he will remain.
- Heuer did not disclose his voting intention; he abstained as the only one of 15 lawmakers on the boycott decision.
- Heuer rejects an AfD coalition or tolerance arrangement but supports changing majorities and does not rule out minority government.
- As the BSW plans to abstain, Ulrich Siegmund needs votes from other groups in the first two ballots; a simple majority suffices in the third.
Of course we need red lines. When it comes to Russia, NATO, the preservation of the EU and the euro, we are worlds apart from the AfD. Those are our red lines.— Guido Heuer, former CDU parliamentary group leader in the Saxony-Anhalt state parliament, in an NIUS interview.
