Independent voters doubt CDU-SPD government in Saxony

The Free Voters (FW) have strong doubts as to whether a CDU-SPD minority government can bring about a new political culture in Saxony. "I simply don't believe in it," said MP Matthias Berger in Dresden. This is just a "whitewashing of the politically catastrophic situation for which they themselves are responsible". The CDU and SPD had acted in terms of power politics over the past decade. If they are now talking about others having a "say", that gives food for thought.

"They would have had the opportunity. In my view, that would have been a desirable political style in the last decade - to include everyone. However, the focus was more on exclusion and power politics," said Berger. All the CDU had to do was get off its high horse. That is why there are now serious doubts. "We don't believe that this government will be sustainable," said Berger, who won a direct mandate as the lone campaigner for the Free Voters in the state parliament.

Berger does not want to vote for Minister President Michael Kretschmer

Under the current conditions, Minister President Michael Kretschmer (CDU) will not receive the vote of the Free Voters if he is re-elected, said Berger. The CDU and SPD will be negotiating a coalition agreement in working groups over the next few days. The minority government should be in place before Christmas. Both parties are ten votes short of a majority in the state parliament.
