German Union party to abstain in far-right state premier vote
Original: Die # union will sich also enthalten, wenn ein rechtsextremer # landespräsident gewählt werden soll? Danke für nichts!
Criticism is mounting in Germany over reports that the Union parties plan to abstain in a state parliament vote where a far-right candidate stands for minister-president. Commenters are angry, arguing abstention effectively helps the extreme right take power, with the phrase 'thanks for nothing' summing up a mood of betrayal among voters who expected the Union to block the AfD outright.
Why now: A Union abstention in a minister-president election involving the far right is seen as a significant breach of the firewall against the AfD.
