Overview

• The Brandenburg Landtag has completed elections for the three-member Parlamentarische Kontrollkommission, which oversees Verfassungsschutz activities.
• SPD MP Uwe Adler was elected chair in the second ballot after initially failing to secure enough support, reflecting coalition tensions.
• Rainer Genilke of the CDU was elected as vice-chair, and André von Ossowsky of the BSW secured the third seat on the commission.
• The AfD, classified as a right-wing extremist movement in April, failed to gain representation, with their candidate Daniel Münschke falling short of the required majority.
• Voting patterns revealed cross-party dynamics, including potential AfD support for the BSW candidate, and underscored the SPD-BSW coalition's narrow two-seat majority and internal instability.
