AfD in Brandenburg Identifies Policy Overlap with BSW Following Coalition SplitTue 13th Jan, 2026After the recent dissolution of the coalition between the Social Democratic Party (SPD) and the Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) in Brandenburg, the political landscape in the state parliament has shifted notably. Both the Alternative for Germany (AfD) and BSW now find themselves in the opposition, prompting discussions about shared policy positions and the future of legislative collaboration. The AfD leadership has emphasized an absence of barriers between itself and the BSW, suggesting a willingness to engage on common policy grounds. Following the collapse of the SPD-BSW coalition, which was triggered by multiple resignations from the BSW parliamentary group, the state's Minister-President declared the partnership over. As Brandenburg prepares for potential new elections, the interactions between AfD, BSW, and other political actors are likely to influence both legislative outcomes and voter perceptions.
