The AfD in Baden-Württemberg sees the election results as a mandate for a black-blue coalition, with candidate Frohnmaier attempting to create division between the CDU and the Greens.
Following the recent state elections in Baden-Württemberg, the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party is interpreting its strong performance as a clear mandate from the electorate. Spitzenkandidat Emil Sänze emphasized at a press conference that the party's significant increase in support—nearly doubling its previous electoral result to 18.8%—positions it as a major force within the political landscape of the state, claiming that they now represent the conservative majority of the population. He aims to exploit this moment to drive a wedge between the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and the Greens, thereby urging the CDU to reconsider any future coalition with the Greens in favor of a partnership with the AfD, which he refers to as a 'black-blue coalition.'
