A good two weeks after the election to the Berlin House of Representatives, the announced exploratory talks began on Monday in a three-way format. The negotiators of the Social Democrats, the Greens and the FDP met in the SPD regional office. Around five hours were allotted to discuss the formation of a government. A meeting of the SPD, the Greens and the Left will follow on Tuesday - the three parties have governed together since 2016.
Berlin - The SPD state chairman and mayor-designate Franziska Giffey announced on Friday that, after numerous bilateral talks, her party now wants to continue exploring the two three-way formats.
At the same time, she had made it clear that she had a preference for a traffic light coalition with the Greens and the FDP.
The Greens, on the other hand, are in favor of a continuation of the previous three-party coalition with the SPD and the Left.

First extrapolation for referendum: Berliners vote for expropriation of large landlords
In front of the SPD headquarters in the Wedding district, around 100 representatives of the “Deutsche Wohnen & Co expropriate” initiative demonstrated for social rent policy and for the swift implementation of the result of the referendum.
On September 26, parallel to the Bundestag and House of Representatives elections, a good 56 percent of voters in Berlin voted for the expropriation of housing groups with more than 3,000 apartments in the city.
"We are here today because further coalition soundings are taking place and we want to let them know, regardless of which coalition is formed, that this vote of the Berliners must be implemented," said a spokesman for the initiative of the dpa.
