In Berlin, the signs point to traffic light coalition talks between the SPD, the Greens and the FDP.
According to SPIEGEL information, both the Social Democrats and the Greens have each scheduled a committee meeting.
SPIEGEL learned this from participants.
In the case of the SPD, the invitation to the party executive committee took place shortly before 11 a.m., an item on the agenda was not set.
The SPD and the Greens had previously met with the Liberals for a final exploratory round.
The parties have announced a joint statement for 1 p.m.
The parties had already met three times for exploratory talks since the federal election.
In contrast to non-binding explorations, the parties involved in possible coalition negotiations would already have their sights set firmly on a joint government.
A small party congress in the Greens that could meet at the weekend would decide whether to start talks.
The FDP would consult party bodies.
Such a step would not be necessary with the SPD.
