Berlin: Next step towards government: SPD also wants to negotiate with the Left Party
A red-red-green alliance is becoming more realistic in Berlin: The SPD is also willing to explore a coalition with the Left. However, the potential coalition partners are making demands.
The Berlin SPD is open to discussing a potential government coalition with the Left Party and the Greens. The party's state executive committee made this decision on Saturday, and up to five people will be part of the exploratory team. The Left Party had already voted in favor of exploratory talks on Friday, with a broad majority, after winning 25.7% of the vote in the September 20 election to the state parliament.
Despite this, SPD candidate Steffen Krach noted that there are "very high hurdles" to a partnership and that the past few days have not been "absolutely trust-building".
