In Berlin, the parties take a lot of time for exploratory talks to form a government.
The first decisions are now becoming apparent.
Berlin - In the explorations for the formation of a government after the election to the Berlin House of Representatives, the first important decisions are indicated for Friday.
The Greens, as the second strongest party, then want to decide with which other parties they want to hold further exploratory talks in a three-way constellation.
The state executive will evaluate the results of previous bilateral explorations and make a recommendation, "which triple explorations we then go into," said the Green top candidate in the parliamentary elections, Bettina Jarasch, on Wednesday after a meeting with the SPD. It remained unclear whether her party would initially continue to speak in several three-party constellations or concentrate on one variant.
However, the SPD claims the mandate to form a government with the designated governing mayor Franziska Giffey.
Because the Social Democrats became the strongest party on September 26, with 21.4 percent, ahead of the Greens, CDU and Left.
So far they have ruled with the Left and the Greens, now four potential coalition partners are ready.
The SPD can again forge a three-way alliance with the strengthened Greens and the Left, but also, for example, with the CDU and FDP or with the Greens and FDP.
Giffey has not yet made a public commitment and instead emphasizes that she is concerned with as much social democratic content as possible in the future government program.

Hennig-Wellsow: Invitation to red-green-red exploration
Left co-chair Susanne Hennig-Wellsow assumes that the SPD will approach her party after the federal election.
From her point of view, the most likely scenario is "that we will definitely go into exploratory talks," she said on Thursday in Erfurt.
"And of course we will negotiate in such a way that it can also succeed." The prerequisite is that mathematically there is enough for a red-green-red coalition in the federal government.

SPD wants to talk to four parties about government participation
The SPD, the winner of the election, will soon hold initial talks on the formation of a new government in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
She will submit offers to the CDU, the Left, the FDP and the Greens from Tuesday, said Prime Minister Manuela Schwesig on Monday evening in Güstrow after consultations in the governing bodies of the state party.
The aim is to form a stable coalition that will help the country move forward.
SPD wants to talk to four parties about government participation
Since last Friday, small teams from the SPD, Greens, CDU, Left and FDP have been working in bilateral rounds to find out with whom there is the most common ground for a possible coalition in the next five years.
These explorations will initially continue until Thursday.
The decision of the Greens expected on Friday for further three-way explorations could be a kind of preliminary decision with regard to possible coalitions. However, the SPD should then also explain itself to the further progress of the exploratory process. As the strongest party, it is actually up to you and not the Greens to invite you to three-way talks. Decisions would be made “in due course” and communicated to the public, according to the SPD on Wednesday.
On Wednesday, the explorations started last Friday continued with four bilateral meetings.
The SPD negotiators met with the FDP for the second time at 7 a.m., and later with the Greens for the second time.
At noon the CDU and FDP came together, then the Greens and CDU.
On Thursday the SPD speaks again with the Left and the CDU, the Greens speak with the FDP.
Details of the content of the conversation have not yet been revealed in the course of the explorations.
As agreed, all five parties involved kept this confidential.
The Green Jarasch assessed the meanwhile second exploratory meeting of her party with the election winner SPD positively.
"Once again, there were constructive and very trusting discussions, in which we once again deepened and discussed various topics."
The FDP state chairman, Christoph Meyer, spoke of a good conversation after the meeting of his team with the SPD.
They talked very constructively about similarities and differences.
As before the election, Meyer made it clear that his party would prefer a coalition of the SPD, CDU and FDP.
There are many similarities in the programs of the three parties.
