A few days before the election in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Sascha Ott, deputy chairman of the Vorpommern-Greifswald CDU district association, stated that the AfD could become a coalition partner of the CDU.
“We must be open and seek the coalition partner that is possible and best for us. That could of course also be the AfD, if that is what the voters want.”
However, CDU state chairman and lead candidate Daniel Peters is sticking to the previous course: He reaffirmed the existing ban on coalitions and similar forms of cooperation with the AfD. This is particularly noteworthy against the backdrop of polls showing the CDU at around 7% in the state.
