Schulze Proposes Waiving Saxony-Anhalt's MPK Chairmanship After AfD Victory
Following the AfD's victory in the Saxony-Anhalt state election, the acting Minister-President Sven Schulze (CDU) has proposed waiving the state's scheduled chairmanship of the Prime Minister's Conference (MPK) starting October 2026. Schulze cited uncertainty about the progress of government formation in Saxony-Anhalt as the reason for his proposal. He asked the state of Rhineland-Palatinate to initiate a discussion on the matter. The BSW faction in Saxony-Anhalt criticized Schulze's plan, stating that it showed a questionable understanding of democracy.5 sourcesSee all sources
