The exploratory talks for a so-called Brombeer coalition of CDU, BSW and SPD in Saxony are to begin on Tuesday. The "Leipziger Volkszeitung" reported that the negotiators want to take a total of three weeks to explore the possibilities of forming a government. Successful exploratory talks would then be followed by coalition negotiations.
The state executive committees of the CDU/CSU, the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance and the Social Democrats had each voted in favor of the exploratory talks. Prior to this, there had been several meetings to get to know each other, which resulted in a position paper. In it, the potential partners had set out a whole range of common issues - for example in education policy, health and care or easing the burden on agriculture.
