"Dammbruch" - CDU accuses red-red-green of having changed the law with AfD votes

The opposition CDU parliamentary group has accused the red-red-green minority coalition in Thuringia of having changed a law with votes from the AfD parliamentary group for the first time. The parliamentary manager of the CDU parliamentary group, Andreas Bühl, spoke on Twitter of a "dam burst". Representatives of the coalition rejected this on Friday on the fringes of the state parliament session in Erfurt.

It was about a change in the Thuringian municipal code - it now includes the possibility that committees of the municipal parliaments can meet in public.

Left, SPD and Greens had their own majority in the decision, said MPs from the SPD and Greens. "

The CDU parliamentary group leader Mario Voigt explained: "When it comes to enforcing its own laws, the Ramelow coalition also calculates a majority with the AfD. First in the committee and then in Parliament, a slide rule doesn't help there either.” Voigt accused Red-Red-Green of working with double standards. "Constantly pushing others into the right corner, but securing majorities yourself with the AfD."

In the past, Red-Red-Green had also accused the CDU of "dam bursting" because the largest opposition faction had in some cases also got their applications through with AfD votes. This was the case with a very controversial motion against gender language in state administration documents and a change in the Thuringian casino law.
