krone.at (German)

The small BSW party has accepted an offer to hold talks with the far-right AfD following the state election in Saxony-Anhalt, potentially positioning itself as a political kingmaker. The party's state board voted unanimously for the discussions. A BSW spokesman said the meeting will cover energy supply, education, and peace policy, though no details on time or location were given. CDU, SPD, Greens, and Left have all ruled out cooperation with the AfD. The AfD won the election with 43.8 percent but missed an absolute majority. Its candidate Ulrich Siegmund claims the mandate to govern. The AfD in Saxony-Anhalt is classified as securely right-wing extremist by state authorities.
