The SPD and the Left want to make rapid progress with their talks on the formation of a new government in the northeast.
The federal CDU is critical of the desired red-red coalition in Schwerin.
Schwerin - The coalition talks between the SPD and the Left in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania should move forward quickly: The talks should be concluded by mid-November.
The Left is planning its party convention to vote on the coalition agreement for November 20, as state manager Sandro Smolka told the German press agency on Thursday.
If it goes faster, November 13th is also an option.
According to the state constitution, the election of the prime minister in the state parliament must take place no later than four weeks after the meeting of the new state parliament.
The constituent session of Parliament will take place on October 26th.
The SPD state chairman and Prime Minister Manuela Schwesig announced on Wednesday that she wanted to start coalition negotiations with the Left.
The Social Democrats had previously held exploratory talks with all parties represented in the new state parliament except the AfD.
The coalition talks are due to begin this week.
For the Rostock political scientist Wolfgang Muno, this decision did not come as a surprise.
"The left is very humble and apparently makes very modest demands," said Muno of the German press agency.
In the election on September 26, the party achieved a single-digit result for the first time with 9.9 percent.
However, she is strategically very well positioned and has avoided any internal party discussion after the losses.
"At least nothing has leaked out."
At the same time, the current state of the Northeast CDU was also a factor in the decision, said the political scientist.
It is Schwesig's goal to form a stable and reliable government.
The unclear attitude of the Christian Democrats without leadership and issues could represent a stumbling block for the future.
With a view to the joint state governments of the SPD with the PDS / Die Linke as junior partner from 1998 to 2006, a red-red government is also not a revolutionary innovation, said Muno.
He assumes that the education department will play an important role in the coalition negotiations and that left-wing top candidate Simone Oldenburg will take over the department.
"The only question is where the 1000 teachers who were called for by the left in the election campaign should come from."
The occupation of the Ministry of the Interior, which has so far been led by the CDU, is also of great importance.
"I think it's good that there is now a chance to clean up," said Muno.
A lot of negative headlines have been generated there in recent years.
The deputy federal chairwoman of the CDU, Julia Klöckner, has sharply criticized the SPD in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania for the desired coalition with the left.
"The fact that the SPD in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania wants to form a coalition with the left, whose chairman was probably an unofficial employee of the GDR State Security, leaves one amazed at the SPD's forgetting of history," said Klöckner on Thursday in Berlin.

Linke calls for further support for the cutter fishery
The Left in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania has called for continued support for the fishing industry by the state, federal government and the EU.
This is better than using scrapping premiums to ensure that one of the country's most important pillars breaks away, said parliamentary group leader Simone Oldenburg on Tuesday.
If the fishermen's knowledge is listened to, the conditions for the regeneration of fish stocks such as cod and herring and for sustainable fishing could be created.

State election campaign: parties ring in the final spurt with duels
The chairman of the Left in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is Torsten Koplin.
He served in the GDR with the "Feliks Dzierzynski" military guard regiment of the State Security Service in Berlin.
After this full-time activity, according to an earlier report by the Stasi inspection commission of the state parliament, he later entered into an unofficial collaboration.
He himself had already confessed to his past several times.
