Saxon Coalition Talks Collapse Amid Political Standoff
Efforts to form a coalition government in Saxony have failed, raising the prospect of a minority government or new elections.
- The coalition talks between CDU, BSW, and SPD in Saxony have broken down due to disagreements on peace, migration, and financial policies.
- Minister-President Michael Kretschmer faces limited options, with a minority government being considered but not favored.
- A deadline looms for electing a new Minister-President by early February 2025, or the parliament may face dissolution and new elections.
- Investigations continue into election fraud involving manipulated ballots favoring the far-right Freie Sachsen party.
- Parallel to Saxony's political crisis, Germany's federal coalition government is also under strain, with economic policy disputes threatening its stability.
