Late this afternoon (Wed), an update came up via ARD on the Thuringia chaos.
Quietly, within the CDU (right-of-center) Party circles (Merkel's team).....it's now being discussed that a agreement might occur, with the Linke Party, SPD, and Greens....avoiding another election entirely.
The chief item of discussion? Well....here's the thing....the national CDU agenda says that they cannot ever partner with the AfD or Linke Party. The CDU folks in Thuringia say that this iron-clad rule won't work in the long-run.
Shocker? National level disagreement with regional level situation? Maybe.
The key point? For a number of days.....folks were prepared for another election, which would be a harsh negative for the CDU. If this agreement occurred? No election, and the CDU would have five years to repair the public situation in the state.
Will this anger CDU-voters throughout the other fifteen states of Germany? To some degree. It will open up further table discussion, but at least the chaos in Thuringia would be ended (if they conclude this).
