Saxony-Anhalt Gov. Sven Schulze of the Christian Democratic Union criticized the initiative. He noted that the resolution did not mention Russian aggression, even though Russia shells Ukrainian cities daily. Schulze said the AfD and BSW wanted to deprive Ukraine of the ability to defend itself. The state government will decide how to proceed after further discussion.

Get your shit together Germany.

    huge demand

    Yeah, barely even clearing the 5% threshold is “huge demand”. Like, when they even can’t cut it in a failed state like Sachsen-Anhalt, the threat of BSW is de facto nonexistant. It can’t work anyway, like trying to have slightly progressive economy politics and hard right societal politics is a contradiction which can’t be really solved.

      It adds to the Russian block though. So you can add those 5% to whatever the AfD has, on any matters Russia cares about.
