The Left, the Greens and the SPD are continuing preliminary discussions

The Left, the Greens and the SPD have continued their preliminary discussions about a possible government formation.

Representatives of the parties arrived at the House of Statistics in the morning. The talks began on Thursday, but nothing was known about the results afterwards.

The stated aim of the first meeting in a three-person format was to reach joint agreements on the recently hotly debated topic of anti-Semitism, how to deal with racism and organized crime. Such an understanding is considered a prerequisite for the start of exploratory talks. The background is several incidents on the left that have also caused concern among potential coalition partners.

It remains to be seen which focal points will be discussed over the weekend. The Left became the strongest force in the House of Representatives elections on September 20th.
