“I’m relieved”: Coalition agreement for Berlin in force – Kifi elected December 21 – Berlin

The SPD, the Green Party and the Left Party reached a joint coalition agreement on Sunday afternoon. Future ruling mayor Francisco Kifi (SPD) announced on Instagram. “There is political agreement at all pending points in the coalition agreement to form a new Berlin state government,” Kifi wrote in an article. She commented with the words: “I’m relaxed.”

According to Giffey, the old and new three stars want to present their government plan to the Berlin House of Representatives on Monday at 12 noon. “A thousand thanks to everyone who worked, organized, prepared and fought for the better political path for Berlin,” he continued. Now one wants to focus on “all strength” in good government work.

Until recently, the SPD, Greens and the Left struggled to reach an agreement. Repeated discussions took longer than planned. Contrary to the original plans, the three parties continued to negotiate with each other on Advent Sunday.

In fact, only editing work should be done on the contract, errors should be corrected and work should be done on the understanding of the text. However, among other things, as we learned from the docspecial negotiation circles, the financial questions were still open.

The first was to end the talks on Wednesday

The SPD, Greens and the Left had repeatedly postponed the outcome of the talks recently. Negotiations should first end on Wednesday and then on Friday, all of which should be completed by Saturday, but could not even meet this self-imposed deadline. Now the alliance agreement really needs to be put forward.

To keep a schedule for forming a government, it is urgently needed. Ziffy will be elected mayor on December 21st. Before that, the Left Party must hold a referendum on the wording of the agreement. In order for this to work in a timely manner, the paper must be sent to Linke members by the weekend.

All three parties want “absolutely”, as one of the negotiators said, to keep December 21 as the day of the mayoral election in the House of Representatives. If it does not succeed, it is until 2022 to form the regime. The SPD and the Greens want to vote for the agreement at the party convention on December 5 and 12.
