Overview
- BSW state manager Stefan Roth said the party will not provide the SPD’s requested pledge and rejected making it a precondition for convening the coalition committee.
- SPD general secretary Kurt Fischer is demanding a clear assurance that all 14 BSW lawmakers back the government and says doubts have grown about the coalition’s reliability.
- BSW legislator Sven Hornauf, who has repeatedly supported AfD motions, has signaled he will not sign a pledge and has positioned himself against the coalition.
- After four BSW exits in November, two deputies returned while Jouleen Gruhn and André von Ossowski remain outside the party; the BSW board meets Monday and the full faction Tuesday to decide next steps.
- The coalition holds only a theoretical two-seat majority, with SPD indicating it will wait for the BSW deliberations as Finance Minister Robert Crumbach calls the situation very concerning.
