Ramelow stunned by failed elections in the state parliament. Representatives of red-red-green react in horror.

Ute Jung - proposed by the Greens - received 55 yes votes, although 60 would have been necessary for a two-thirds majority. Left parliamentary group leader Steffen Dittes sees the CDU as responsible for the fact that there were not enough votes for aTwo-thirdsmajority. “Anyone who trusts in the functioning of the democratic constitutional state cannot rely on theCDU,” said Ditte.
