Berlin CDU plans talks with Greens and SPD on transition period

The state branch of the Greens also confirmed the characterization of the planned talks. It is not about a possible government formation with the CDU, but about shaping the transition period constructively.

Participation of the three parliamentary groups

The participation of the SPD was also foreseen in the text published by the CDU. This would mean that all parties represented in the current Berlin state parliament would take part in the talks.

The political interpretation of the meeting will likely depend primarily on how the parties further develop their willingness to talk in the coming days. A possible cooperation beyond the concrete transition is therefore not ruled out for the time being.

The available information does not indicate which specific measures or decisions are to be prepared during the transition period. The respective responsibilities of the various actors have also not yet been explained in more detail.

No concrete measures yet

No timetable for the formation of a new government was mentioned in the information. Until then, the three parties apparently want to prevent the phase between the current state government and a successor government from remaining unclear.

The talks are taking place against the backdrop of a general intensification of internal tensions within the Berlin state branch of the Greens. The CDU's statement contains no further details on the specific questions that could play a role.
