FDP in Thuringia: liberals renew refusal to Prime Minister Ramelow

The search for a majority in the Thuringian state parliament is difficult after the electoral victory of the left and the success of the AfD. Liberals do not want to belong to or tolerate a government under Bodo Ramelow.



The FDP is drafted in Thuringia conceivable just in the state legislature. Chief executive and top candidate Thomas Kemmerich is pleased with this success of his party: "We have managed to join the Thuringian state parliament again," said Kemmerich in the Federal Press Conference.

Kemmerich reiterated his campaign statement that he had come forward so that the government of Prime Minister Bodo Ramelow (The Left) would not get a majority anymore: "We have started to end red-red-green."

Then the Thuringian FDP leader added that there would be no predictable coalition of Left, SPD, Greens and FDP with him. "I do not see tolerance or cooperation." Discussions about this, which Ramelow had also offered to the liberals on election night, concluded Kemmerich. You will not talk to Ramelow.

FDP leader Christian Lindner said that a coalition led by the left with the participation of the FDP will not exist. The Thuringian leftist leader Ramelow could not "Kemmerich to prime minister". Lindner was in favor of a "constructive opposition". They give it in covenant with the FDP. How that is now configured in Thuringia, but decide the FDP in the state.
