Saxon Parliament Faces Dilemma Over Competing COVID Inquiry Proposals

The AfD urges the BSW to support its investigation bid, risking political tensions with coalition partners.

The AfD and BSW have both submitted proposals for a COVID investigation committee in the Saxon parliament, leading to potential conflicts.
AfD's proposal has enough support to proceed independently, while BSW's proposal lacks sufficient backing unless it gains additional votes.
AfD's Jörg Urban has publicly called on BSW to back their proposal, suggesting joint efforts would prevent legal disputes over dual committees.
BSW's support for the AfD proposal could jeopardize its ongoing coalition talks with CDU and SPD, creating a political conundrum.
The final decision on the proposals will be made in a special parliamentary session scheduled for Friday, with potential legal implications if both are approved.
