Wagenknecht rejects Höcke's proposal to become Minister President

Sahra Wagenknecht has dismissed the request from Thüringen AfD leader Höcke to become Minister President.

Sahra Wagenknecht, founder of the BSW, has firmly rejected the suggestion by Björn Höcke, the AfD leader in Thüringen. Höcke had proposed that Wagenknecht could become Minister President of the Free State with the support of his party.

Wagenknecht responded to Höcke's remarks by dismissing his idea. The state election in Thüringen is upcoming, but she considers collaboration with the AfD to be out of the question.
