SPD, Left Party and Greens agree on government in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern

Germany's Social Democratic Party, the Left Party and the Greens in the federal state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern have concluded coalition negotiations and presented the program for the future state government. The talks on governing together lasted approximately four weeks. The new grouping is to continue to be led by state premier and SPD state chairwoman Manuela Schwesig. n-tv ↗

The coalition, referred to as red-red-green, is to be formed on the basis of an agreement between the previously governing SPD and the Left Party and the Greens. After concluding the negotiations, representatives of the three parties published the coalition agreement, which sets out their joint program for the upcoming legislative term. Die Zeit ↗

The agreement still has to be approved by the parties' rank and file. The Left Party will be the first to vote on it at a party congress in Güstrow. The vote is expected to take place on Saturday, with the delegates' approval considered likely. Members of the SPD and the Greens are subsequently to decide on the coalition agreement as well.

According to available information, the negotiations concluded relatively quickly and without any publicly announced major disputes. Their result is an agreement to form a joint government in the northeastern German federal state. Spiegel.de ↗

If all three parties approve the agreement, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern will be led by a coalition of the SPD, the Left Party and the Greens. Further steps will depend on the outcomes of the party votes and the subsequent formal formation of the state government. ORF ↗
