Black and red in Saxony: coalition negotiations until Christmas!

Black and red in Saxony: coalition negotiations until Christmas!

In a dramatic step in Saxon politics, the CDU and the SPD have started the coalition negotiations for a minority government! In Dresden, the negotiators, Henning Homann from the SPD and Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer from the CDU, met for the first working group sessions. The goal? To conclude the negotiations by Christmas! But the challenge is great: to form a black and red coalition, the parties in the state parliament lack ten votes!

political strategies and challenges

In order to get through their legislative proposals, the CDU and SPD rely on increased cooperation with other factions. But a taboo remains: a cooperation with the AfD is strictly excluded! This clear attitude shows how serious it is to form a stable government without getting involved in controversial partners. Previously, both parties had already held exploratory talks with the BSW, which, however, failed due to differences in peace policy.

The political waves are high, and the coming weeks will be crucial for the future of Saxony. The negotiations are not only a test for the two parties, but also for the political landscape in the Free State!
