AfD-BSW Coalition Formation Progresses in Saxony-Anhalt; Federal Intervention Considered
The AfD and BSW are progressing towards forming a coalition government in Saxony-Anhalt, with BSW describing talks as 'constructive' and plans to elect an AfD state parliament president by early October. This development, if realized, would mark the first far-right party-led state government in Germany, prompting the federal government to consider an unprecedented 'federal mandate' intervention. The stability of the alliance and the potential federal response remain key uncertainties.
