Katja Wolf and Steffen Schütz lead the BSW regional association. It is the second in Germany after Saxony.
The party's new dual leadership ruled out collaboration with the AfD. BSW wants to run in Thuringia in the local elections coming up in May, in the European elections and in the state elections. New state parliaments will be elected in Thurringia and Saxony on September 1st, and in Brandenburg three weeks later. They want to work massively to significantly reduce the number of lessons canceled in schools.
