In all of the East German states, it was the SPD that forced the refusal to vote for the BKA law. Indeed Schäuble already blames the SPD.

However, Saxony's and Saxony-Anhalt's SPD interior ministers would agree to an "improved" version, e.g. internet searches not without prior approval by a judge. And it seems the problem is more that they want to keep their state polices in charge and fear the BKA would take too much of their turf.

Meanwhile, Schäuble proposed to change voting rules in the Bundesrat, bbasically he wants to eliminate abstaining... something even CDU colleagues like Hamburg's mayor reject.
