The CDU and FDP in Berlin have criticized the SPD's announcement to explore a red-green-red alliance in the capital.
CDU chairman Kai Wegner said on Thursday that Berlin needed a real restart.
“Instead, continuing like this threatens with arguments and standstill.
Everything that would be needed for a functioning city will remain where it is. "
Berlin - Wegner accused the SPD state chairmen Franziska Giffey and Raed Saleh of having a serious credibility problem with this decision.
"In any case, it is the first heavy defeat for the SPD duo and a sign of the weakness against their own party and the coalition partners before it even starts," said Wegner.
The background to his statement: Last Friday, Giffey said that the preference for the SPD was a traffic light alliance with the Greens and the FDP.

FDP state chairman Christoph Meyer also accused the FDP of having gambled away the chances for a real restart of Senate politics.
Giffey has to put up with the question of who is in charge of their coalition.
"It doesn't seem to be the actual election winner, the SPD," said Meyer.
The promised change that Giffey suggested before the election turned out to be an empty phrase.
"With the left on board, this left-wing coalition will continue to split the city and weaken our business location with concepts from the past," said the FDP politician.
"The fact that the Greens have done everything in an unspeakable way to force a left alliance is evidence of their policy, which only relies on ideology instead of pragmatic and sustainable solutions."
Giffey announced on Thursday morning that a final exploratory round would only be scheduled with the Greens and Leftists on Friday.
The goal is to start coalition negotiations next week.
There should be no further three-way talks with the FDP for the time being.
This means that a new edition of the alliance forged in 2016 between the SPD, the Greens and the Left is likely.
