Brandenburg's future: Coalition signs contract in Potsdam!
On December 10, 2024, the SPD and BSW signed their coalition agreement in Potsdam, which is intended to advance Brandenburg.
Brandenburg's future: Coalition signs contract in Potsdam!
In a decisive step for Brandenburg, the coalition agreement between the SPD and the BSW was signed today under the title “Advancing Brandenburg – Securing the tried and tested. Creating something new”. This happened not long after the state elections that took place on September 22nd, in which the SPD won by a narrow margin over the AfD. The contract, which comprises a total of 67 pages, was signed by party leaders Dietmar Woidke and Robert Crumbach in the state parliament in Potsdam. This agreement allows the SPD and the BSW to together form a majority of 46 out of 88 seats in the state parliament, while a coalition with the CDU did not materialize and cooperation with the AfD was vehemently rejected.
Content of the coalition agreement
This coalition agreement contains several important measures, including an increase in the minimum wage and an expansion of police positions. Particularly noteworthy is the commitment to the stability of hospital locations in the country. A controversial passage in the treaty addresses a diplomatic solution to the conflict in Ukraine, which is attributed to the BSW. However, in the context of the support for the Bundeswehr, which is demanded by the SPD, this does not go without discussion. How rbb24 reported, Woidke will be re-elected as Prime Minister in a state parliament session tomorrow and the new ministers will take their oaths.
The situation is of great importance because the coalition agreement will not only shape the future political direction of Brandenburg, but will also have an impact on solving crucial social and economic issues in the country. The cooperation between the SPD and the BSW marks a clear step towards a stable government in the region, even if different positions within the coalition remain. Further details on the contents of the coalition agreement can be found in the official document, which is also available on the Internet: SPD-BSW coalition agreement.
