One week after the election of the House of Representatives in Berlin, the SPD, CDU and FDP come together for exploratory talks.
Berlin – At the same time as the federal election in 2021 *, the Berlin House of Representatives was re-elected. Franziska Giffey *, former family minister of the SPD in the GroKo, won the election in front of the Greens * as the top candidate. As mayor of Spe, it should be up to her who will rule the capital with whom in the future.
The first talks between the SPD * and the Greens and the Left * took place on Friday (October 1st, 2021). This is because Berlin had previously been governed by SPD Mayor Michael Müller together with the Left and the Greens and traditionally the first conversation is sought with the former partners.
Berlin: Franziska Giffey sods with FDP and Union
So far, however, Giffey has not committed to a possible coalition. In terms of arithmetic, various three-party alliances would be possible. The SPD won the election clearly ahead of the Greens, who were able to place themselves in front of the CDU. The left came in fourth place ahead of AfD * and FDP *, although there will be no talks with the AfD.
In advance, there had been an intensive discussion in the state executive on the question of possible coalitions. Franziska Giffey emphasized that she wanted to implement as much of the social democratic program as possible. She also admitted that there were clear supporters of a red-red-green coalition * in the SPD. At the same time, Giffey made it clear: “We have not yet committed to a coalition.”
Coalition in Berlin around SPD mayor Giffey should stand by the beginning of December
On Monday (October 4th, 2021) the SPD will meet with the other two parties for the purpose of exploring *. The CDU * has been meeting since 9 a.m., talks with the FDP are to follow at 4 p.m. On Wednesday, the CDU and FDP are likely to want to talk to each other. Giffey had stated that the coalition negotiations should be concluded by the beginning of December at the latest, so that a new government could take office by Christmas.
