Giffey rules out negotiations for a red-green-red state government in Berlin

Another point of criticism concerns financial commitments. According to her account, many promises have been made for which there is no financial basis in Berlin’s state budget.

Open security and sociopolitical questions

The statement refers to the red-green-red state government sought by the three parties. The SPD, the Greens, and the Left therefore face the task of placing their cooperation on a viable foundation or drawing consequences for how they proceed.

The focus of the criticism is on specific security and societal issues as well as the financing of political initiatives. The topics mentioned range from how to address antisemitism and terrorism supporters to commitments whose financial basis is not substantiated by the facts available.

Financing and next steps

In her remarks, Giffey makes clear that, for the reasons cited, she is signaling no willingness to negotiate. The further course of events therefore depends on the reactions of the other parties involved and on whether they respond to her criticism.

The criticism is documented in an interview text with Giffey. This provides the SPD, the Greens, and the Left with a concrete starting point for the further public debate on a possible state government in Berlin.
