Ex-CDU leader warns against minority government involving AfD

Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer has warned the Union against considering a minority government. Such a setup would amount to an informal alliance with the AfD.

Former CDU chairwoman Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer spoke to the Funke Mediengruppe. She stressed that no alternative majority exists in the democratic center.

Kramp-Karrenbauer criticized scenarios where the government seeks varying majorities depending on the issue. Such ideas have nothing to do with political reality, she said.

Regarding the state election in Saxony-Anhalt in September, she stated that the federal party cannot dictate terms to the state branch. Talks between Chancellor Friedrich Merz and state chairman Sven Schulze are planned after the vote.
