Landtagswahlen: Nach SPD stimmt auch Linke für Koalitionsverhandlungen in MV

After the SPD, the Left party in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern has also voted in favor of coalition negotiations to form a red-red-green state government. The decision was taken late in the evening following a day-long online session. The Greens intend to decide at a small party meeting on Saturday in Rostock. Hennis Herbst, the chairman of the Landesverband and the new Left faction in the state parliament, told the Deutsche Presse-Agentur that the decision was unanimous.

After the two-week probing talks ended on Friday, the negotiation leaders of the SPD, Left, and Greens recommended to their party executives that coalition negotiations be initiated. The SPD had voted in favor early in the evening after meeting in Güstrow with the party leadership and state fraction. If the Greens agree, the coalition negotiations are set to begin on Monday. The goal is to form the first red-red-green state government in the history of the federal state.
