CDU in the dilemma: government formation after elections in Saxony and Thuringia

Karin Prien's clear attitude to the political orientation of the CDU

The political landscape in Germany has experienced some changes in recent months, especially after the elections in Saxony and Thuringia. These developments have raised questions about future government formation at the CDU. The deputy party chairman Karin Prien recently expressed her conviction on the television station Phoenix that the incompatibility decision with regard to the AfD and the left party continued to exist. This decision is of great importance because it specifies the direction in which the CDU wants to move.

The incompatibility decision is an essential part of the political identity of the CDU. He says that collaboration with more extreme political currents is excluded. Prien emphasized that the CDU under the leadership of prime ministers must continue to strive for stable government coalitions. Nevertheless, it will be crucial whether it will be possible to find matches with other parties to ensure political stability.

Especially in Thuringia, where the political situation appears more complicated than in Saxony, the question arises of possible partnerships. Prien praised the negotiation skills of the Thuringian CDU politician Mario Voigt, who recently achieved remarkable gains for the party. It remains to be seen how the talks develop and what constellations can be formed in the end.

An alarming assessment of the current political situation comes from Prien, which described the result of the AfD in Thuringia as a "bitter turning". This wording illuminates the worries about the growing influence of right -wing extremist parties, especially in a federal state that is historically associated with one of the darkest chapters in German history - the Buchenwald concentration camp. The fact that the AfD received more than 30 percent of the votes indicates outer shouting that indicate the need to defend and strengthen democratic values.

Overall, it turns out that the CDU has to manage a decisive dilemma that could not only influence its future, but also future political culture in Germany. The decisions that are now made could have far -reaching consequences for the relationships between the various political currents and for the stability of future governments.
