The SPD state executive has spoken out in favour of continuing the government alliance with the Greens and the Left Party. Coalition talks are to be started with both parties, said Mayor Andreas Bovenschulte after a board meeting on Wednesday evening.
In the elections to the Bremen parliament on May 14, the SPD won 29.8 percent of the vote. However, the Greens are weakened by the election result and landed at 11.9 percent. The alliance of red-green-red in a state parliament, which is unique in western Germany, has existed since 2019.
