Brandenburg Coalition Negotiations Progress

The coalition negotiations between SPD and BSW in Brandenburg have reached significant agreements on various fronts. Among the key decisions is the implementation of a mobile phone ban in primary schools and an increase in police numbers. Both parties have also committed to supporting companies facing high energy costs. The talks are expected to conclude soon, with a potential election of the Prime Minister, Dietmar Woidke, scheduled for December 11.

A notable point of contention involves the military airport at Holzdorf. BSW member Sven Hornauf has threatened not to support Woidke if the stationing of the Israeli missile defense system Arrow 3 and Chinook helicopters proceeds at the site. While backing the Bundeswehr location, Hornauf is critical of the 100 million Euro investment in the social infrastructure of the Lausitz region.

Furthermore, the SPD and BSW are working towards a coalition contract that includes measures for strengthening the Bundeswehr's defense capabilities and advocating for a diplomatic resolution to the Ukraine conflict. Relief from daycare fees for lower-income families is also part of the ongoing commitments.

In addition to domestic policies, the coalition has agreed that only companies with collective agreements will be eligible for public contracts. This reflects a broader commitment to social and economic reforms, which also include plans for an inquiry commission on Corona policies.

The coalition is set to form a government with a required majority of 45 votes in the Landtag, aiming to address both regional and national challenges. The upcoming decisions will significantly shape Brandenburg's political landscape, focusing on security, education, and economic stability.
