Eva von Angern: Linke top candidate would not vote CDU's Schulze as minister-president
As the Saxony-Anhalt state election approaches on September 6, Eva von Angern, the Left party's leading candidate, announced her refusal to support CDU's main candidate, Sven Schulze, for the position of minister-president. In an interview with der Freitag, she provided an unclear answer regarding possible collaboration between the CDU and the Left to avert an AfD-led government. Von Angern also touched on her connection with Luigi Pantisano, the Left's national co-leader, who proposed that votes from the Left could aid Schulze. Additionally, she mentioned her cat, "Herr Böhmer," named after former CDU minister-president Wolfgang Böhmer. She firmly stated, "I would never do anything that makes Siegmund minister-president," alluding to AfD candidate Ulrich Siegmund. The election's results may greatly affect the AfD's power.
