The Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD), Die Linke and the Greens in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania approved the start of coalition negotiations on forming a state government. The Greens made the decision unanimously at a small party congress in Rostock, removing the last obstacle to the formation of a three-party coalition. Deutschlandfunk ↗
All three parties have already concluded exploratory talks and declared them successful. They subsequently recommended that their party bodies support negotiations on a joint government program. The SPD and Die Linke gave their approval for the negotiations before the Greens did. Die Zeit ↗
The state election was won by Alternative for Germany (AfD), but it does not have a majority in the state parliament. If the SPD, Die Linke and the Greens reach an agreement on government, the AfD would remain the sole opposition party. The coalition would also represent the first state government composed of Social Democrats, Die Linke and the Greens in the history of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Spiegel.de ↗
The negotiations are meant to build on the cooperation agreements reached so far and define the specific political priorities of the new government. Premier Schwesig, following her approach to date, does not want to draw out the process unnecessarily, and the coalition negotiations are set to begin without delay. n-tv ↗
The outcome will depend on the parties' ability to agree on policy issues and the division of government responsibilities. Once the negotiations are concluded, the respective party bodies will decide on the coalition agreement.
