The fact remains: Katja Wolf wants to move to the Sahra Wagenknecht alliance.
She rejected an offer from Bodo Ramelow (Left Party) to go into the election campaign with him and move to the cabinet table.
Erfurt - Eisenach's mayor Katja Wolf has rejected Prime Minister Bodo Ramelow's (left) offer to move to his cabinet table.
“I am honored by the offer from the Prime Minister, which was surprising to me - even if I will not accept it,” Wolf told the German Press Agency in Erfurt on Tuesday.
On Monday evening, at a New Year's reception in the city of Eisenach, Ramelow publicly offered Wolf, who wants to switch to Alliance Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW), to be part of his top team for the state election campaign and promised her a ministerial post.
“I regret that you are leaving the city, I understand that you are going your own way now.
If you want, you can come to my cabinet,” Ramelow said.
Wolf now said it was a reference to 25 years of trusting cooperation.
“Bodo Ramelow and I both see the danger that no stable majorities will be achieved after the state elections or that a right-wing extremist party could come to government,” said Wolf.
For this it is necessary to make a “new democratic offer”.
“That’s why, as announced, I will join the BSW and fight for this new beginning.” dpa
