Die Berliner SPD hat beschlossen, Sondierungsgespräche mit Linken und Grünen zu führen, nachdem beide Parteien zuvor ihrerseits zugestimmt hatten.

Font size

Die Berliner SPD wird Sondierungsgespräche mit den Linken und Grünen führen. Das hat der Landesvorstand der SPD nach rbb-Informationen am Samstag beschlossen. Zuvor hatten die Linken am Freitagabend bei einem Sonderparteitag mit großer Mehrheit beschlossen, Sondierungen mit Grünen und SPD aufzunehmen. Die Grünen hatten den Gesprächen bereits unter der Woche zugestimmt.

Bundesspitze der Grünen stellt Bedingungen

Die Bundesspitze der Grünen stellte allerdings am Samstag Bedingungen für die Verhandlungen: Die Grünen-Bundesvorsitzende Franziska Brantner sagte dem Magazin "Der Spiegel", dass die Linkspartei in einer rot-grün-roten Regierung nicht das Innen- oder Justizressort führen dürfe. Als Grund nannte Brandtner die Kontakter einzelner Linken-Politiker zu Menschen mit Verbindungen zur organisierten Kriminalität oder Hamas-Unterstützern. Sie bezog sich damit vor allem auf den Bundestagsabgeordneten der Linken, Ferat Kocak, der mit Mitgliedern des Remmo-Clans und dem Terrorunterstützer Ibrahim Ibrahim Kontakt hatte.

Brandtner lehnte zudem die Forderung der Linken ab, den Verfassungsschutz und Teile der Polizei wenn möglich durch soziale Arbeit zu ersetzen. Auf SPD-Seite sagte Alt-Bundeskanzler Olaf Scholz, er erwarte bei den Linken während der Koalitionsverhandlungen Kompromisse.

Wadephul meets Lavrov in New York: Germany calls for de-escalation, Russia accuses militarism

Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul met with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov in New York on Saturday morning for a 20-minute conversation at the United Nations. Wadephul called on Moscow to abandon its course of escalation against Germany, Europe and NATO, while Lavrov accused Germany of militarism and revanchism and spoke against a permanent seat for Berlin on the UN Security Council. The meeting came after the attempted attack in Leipzig, which Germany attributed to the Russian GRU, and against the backdrop of European efforts to re-enter Ukraine negotiations. Lavrov also described several European states as being on the path of “neo-Nazism” and criticized the closure of the Russian consulate in Bonn. At the same time, CIA Director John Ratcliffe delivered the message in Moscow at the end of August that Russia was losing the war economically and should negotiate.
