Rechtsextremer Landtagspräsident - Was kommt jetzt auf Sachsen-Anhalt zu?
Summary
Der Bundestalk analysiert die Wahl von Tobias Rausch (AfD) zum Landtagspräsidenten in Sachsen-Anhalt, die als historische Zäsur gilt. Die Gäste diskutieren, woher die vier zusätzlichen Stimmen über die AfD- und BSW-Mehrheit stammen und ob dies ein Testlauf für die Ministerpräsidentenwahl im Dezember ist. Zudem wird die innere Zerrissenheit der CDU-Fraktion beleuchtet, die durch den Wahlvorgang weiter geschwächt wurde.
