The path to coalition negotiations between BSW and SPD in Brandenburg is clear. The state executive boards of both parties agreed to start coalition talks in the evening, as the two possible government partners announced. In the morning, the two party leaders Dietmar Woidke (SPD) and Robert Crumbach (BSW) presented the results of the exploratory talks lasting several weeks. According to the SPD, coalition talks are set to begin on Monday.
After the state elections on September 22nd, only four parliamentary groups, SPD, AfD, CDU and BSW, are still represented in the state parliament in Potsdam.
