Two and a half weeks after the state elections in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, the SPD, as the winner, has concluded its preliminary talks on forming a government.
State party leader and Prime Minister Manuela Schwesig scheduled an extended board meeting for Wednesday evening, in which the parliamentary group also takes part.
In Güstrow Schwesig wants to inform about the results of the explorations.
Schwerin - It is expected that she will then submit a proposal with whom specific coalition negotiations will begin.
Immediately after the September 26 election, which the SPD clearly won with 39.6 percent of the vote, a negotiating trio led by Schwesig sought talks with possible government partners.
There were several meetings with representatives of the previous coalition partner, the CDU, and with the left.
Stable government majorities would be possible with both parties, which sit in parliament with smaller parliamentary groups after losing votes.
