BSW: Sahra Wagenknecht would talk to the CDU about a coalition. She also remains open to collaboration with the AfD on factual issues.

The BSW, which emerged from a split from the Left Party, wants to run in the European elections and the state elections in the fall. The party's first regional association was founded in Saxony on Saturday. A Thuringian regional association is to follow in March; no date was initially known for Brandenburg.
