After the Berlin election: No agreement on anti-Semitism yet in three-party talks
In Berlin, the Left wants to form a coalition with the Greens and the SPD. In confidential preliminary talks, the three parties are struggling to find common positions on anti-Semitism and organized crime.
Talks have begun on forming a government in Berlin, a week and a half after the state election. Representatives from the Left, Greens, and SPD met for an initial discussion on antisemitism, but no results were announced. The parties aim to reach an understanding on this and other issues, such as racism and organized crime, before starting formal coalition talks. The Left won the election with 25.7%, and is seeking a coalition with the Greens and SPD, which could make Elif Eralp the city's first female mayor.
