  "account": "Mecklenburg-Vorpommern will be governed by a rot-grün-red coalition for the first time, following a special party meeting in Güstrow where Social Democrats and Greens agreed to the negotiated coalition agreement. The unanimous vote took place in Güstrow, with Minister-President Manuela Schwesig (SPD) emphasizing a strong coalition contract that carries the SPD's signature. The agreement will have no cooperation with the AfD, as Schwesig highlighted. Green Minister-in-waiting Claudia Müller expressed pride in the achievements secured by the smallest partner. Schwesig, who has been in office since 2017, plans to seek re-election on Monday, with Rot-Rot-Grün holding 39 of the 71 seats. The AfD, as the sole opposition party, has 32 seats. The five-year legislature program, titled \"Together, Confidence, Future,\" was drafted over the past weeks by Schwesig and the leading politicians of the Left (Hennis Herbst) and Greens (Claudia Müller). The distribution of portfolios is set, with the SPD fielding five ministers, including one without party affiliation and the head of the state chancellery, two ministries for the Left, and one for the Greens. Five ministerial heads are women, and five are men. The new government will focus on maritime economy, food economy, and medicine, promising less bureaucracy and digitalization to save 1,000 jobs in the administrative apparatus by 2035. They also aim to exempt residents of wind and solar parks from network fees and share in the profits. The social state will remain unchanged, with a billion euros allocated for hospital modernization until 2035. Kindergartens will remain free, and the government is considering a compulsory pre-school year, strengthening mathematics education, and hiring more teachers to reduce the record number of absentee days. A new university location is planned in Schwerin, and young people will receive a €20 subsidy for the Germany Ticket starting in 2028.",
