Berlin's Die Linke decides on Friday whether to begin exploratory talks with the Social Democrats and Die Grünen. As the winner of the recent elections, it wants to negotiate the formation of a three-party coalition, for which the support of the SPD and the Greens is needed to form a government. Tagesschau ↗
Cansel Kiziltepe, deputy chair of the Berlin SPD, has spoken out publicly in favour of the talks. She said that the people of Berlin chose left-wing politics in the elections. However, resistance to cooperation with Die Linke still exists within the Social Democrats. Die Zeit ↗
The decision of the Berlin Die Linke is to be taken by the party congress. Critics of participation in government are also expected to join the discussion. The party leadership expects the delegates to support the proposal for talks. Deutschlandfunk ↗
The possible coalition faces criticism over accusations of antisemitism directed at part of the Berlin Die Linke. The state chair Franziska Wolter rejected claims that the party is ignoring the issue. She recalled the resolutions adopted to protect Jewish life and the repeated condemnation of the Hamas attack of 7 October. Die Linke MP Dietmar Bartsch described a government led by his party as "no threat", but also said that the problem of antisemitism must be taken seriously. Deutschlandfunk ↗
The chairman of the Bavarian CSU, Markus Söder, called on the SPD and the Greens not to enter a coalition with Die Linke. Green politician Cem Özdemir also recommended caution. The future Berlin government will therefore be decided not only by negotiations between the parties, but also by their stance on the disputes within Die Linke. Spiegel.de ↗
