Thuringia's AfD leader Björn Höcke has called on Sahra Wagenknecht to become Minister President of Thuringia in a video. Höcke emphasized that Wagenknecht could take over the government in the Free State with the support of his party's votes.

However, the response to this proposal was critical. The BSW Thüringen expressed strong opposition to the mention of Wagenknecht as a potential Minister President, without providing further details on the content of the criticism.
