In the new Saxon state parliament, the previous president of the state parliament, Matthias Rößler (CDU), is to remain in office according to the wishes of his group. In a fight vote in the Union faction for the nomination for the presidency, he sat down on Friday against his former deputy Andrea Dombois by. On Rößler accounted for a fraction spokesman 32 votes, to his opponent eleven. One vote was invalid.
Roessler has been Parliament Speaker for ten years. The deputy from Meissen is in the Saxon CDU as a representative of the conservative wing. He is skeptical of a possible Kenya coalition with Greens and SPD. CDU and Greens want to decide on Saturday on the inclusion of exploratory talks.
The CDU group also unanimously appointed Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer as candidate for the post of prime minister. The parliamentarian general manager elected Stephan Meyer. He had 52 votes in favor and one parliamentarian voted against him.
The CDU had remained the strongest force in Saxony despite losing votes in the election last Sunday. However, the previous black-red state government no longer has a majority. Therefore a tripartite alliance must be formed, in the discussion is therefore a coalition of CDU, Greens and SPD.
The new state parliament in Dresden has to meet no later than 1 October for its constituent meeting. At the same time, Landtag President Rößler could be confirmed in office. The 64-year-old has been at the helm of Parliament since 2009.
