  "account": "Mecklenburg-Vorpommern - SPD, Green and Left parties in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern have ended their exploratory talks after two weeks. Now it's time for a decision. Will these three parties find enough common ground to form a regional government for the next five years? In the coming days, it will be clarified whether the parties will initiate coalition negotiations. They actually have no other choice. In the state election on September 20th, the AfD emerged as the strongest force with 32 seats. However, they do not have a majority in the 71-member Schwerin Parliament, and they need a partner. The SPD (29), Green (5) and Left (5) parties together have more than half of the seats. If they don't want to risk a minority government, they must unite. The exploratory talks took place in a factual atmosphere. Details of the content did not leak to the public. After the conclusion of the talks, the negotiators will return to their respective committees to decide whether coalition negotiations should be initiated. The Left will decide this on Friday evening by its Land Executive Committee, while the SPD will decide by its own executive committee. The Green Party has called a small party meeting in Rostock for Saturday.",
