Thuringia: Election of Thomas Kemmerich – reactions in the live ticker

Green bosses Baerbock and Habeck: “Expect Kemmerich to resign immediately”

The Greens criticized the election of the FDP politician Thomas Kemmerich as Prime Minister of Thuringia as a “cultural break” and asked him to immediately resign. The CDU and FDP in Thuringia have deliberately elected a prime minister with the votes of the AfD, the leaders of the party and parliamentary group said in Berlin on Wednesday. “We are horrified by the nefariousness and irresponsibility of the CDU and FDP in Thuringia.” “We expect Thomas Kemmerich to resign from office immediately,” said the joint statement by party leaders Annalena Baerbock and Robert Habeck and group leader Katrin Göring -Eckardt and Anton Hofreiter. “Thomas Kemmerich came into office with the help of an AfD led by a fascist in Thuringia,” said Björn Höcke, head of the AfD in Thuringia. “This is a pact with right-wing extremists.” “The federal CDU and federal FDP have decided and have claimed x times that there will be no cooperation with the AfD,” the Greens continued. “These decisions have been broken.” A resignation by Thomas Kemmerich is the “last chance”. If he did not resign, the CDU and FDP would have to exclude the Thuringian state associations at federal level. “Otherwise your words and incompatibility decisions are no longer worth a chanterelle.”
