The Social Democrats, the Greens and Die Linke in Berlin will begin exploratory talks next week on forming a joint state government. The SPD's decision removed the last major obstacle before the start of the talks, as the party agreed to begin them. Tagesspiegel ↗
All three potential coalition partners have prepared for the first round of talks following the elections to the Berlin House of Representatives. Die Linke won the election, but the result alone does not guarantee it will be able to form a government. To build a coalition, it needs an agreement with the Social Democrats and the Greens. Tagesschau ↗
The talks will be accompanied by a number of contentious issues. The parties must agree on fundamental questions of the capital's future policy and overcome the differences that persist between them. The discussion will also concern attitudes toward Die Linke's participation in government and differences within the parties themselves. Die Zeit ↗
At the same time, the Greens plan to involve their members in the decision on a possible entry into government. After the exploratory talks, they want to present a framework procedure that would lead to a decision on participation in the coalition.
Ultimately, the outcome of the talks will be decided not only by the parties' representatives but also by their membership base. The possibility of a coalition between the SPD, the Greens and Die Linke therefore remains open, but its formation will depend on agreement on several politically sensitive issues.
