  • At an event in Magdeburg, Oliver Kirchner supported formally regulating cooperation with the BSW in writing.

  • Kirchner said differing positions could produce compromises and potentially allow the BSW to act as a corrective.

  • The AfD clearly won September’s state election but missed its goal of governing alone; talks with the BSW continue.

  • The BSW plans to abstain in December’s scheduled minister-president election; the AfD has 39 seats, BSW five, and 42 constitute a majority.
    • I really ask that we let ourselves negotiate this first, fix it in writing, so that no one after two years says: ‘Well, that’s not how we discussed it. Everything that is fixed in writing is there.’
    — Oliver Kirchner, AfD-Co-Fraktionschef, at a gathering of AfD and BSW politicians in Magdeburg

Key FactsBSW deputy Wittig backtracks after dinner with AfD politicians
Oct 11, 2026 · Reading time: ~45 sec.
Summary created with AI assistance · Source: n-tv.de
  • On Thursday, the entire BSW state parliamentary group met AfD politicians in Magdeburg for the opening of a “Compact” television studio.

  • According to Jürgen Elsässer, about 20 AfD politicians attended, including Tobias Rausch, Oliver Kirchner and Hans-Thomas Tillschneider.

  • After criticism from Sahra Wagenknecht and Fabio De Masi, Claudia Wittig later regretted staying for the dinner.

  • AfD and BSW plan to pass a first joint motion soon on Ukraine sanctions, arms deliveries and financial aid; a special session is planned.
    • It was unwise to stay for the subsequent dinner as well. We regret the mistake, and such a thing will not happen again.
