Brandenburg's Coalition and Key Abstentions

The new coalition in Brandenburg has made notable abstentions in the Bundesrat regarding critical issues like long-term care insurance and military deployment. They have withheld votes on increasing care contributions, which has drawn criticism for potentially burdening employees and employers further.

The coalition advocates for care reform while opposing the hospital reform, highlighting internal discord. Prime Minister Woidke has welcomed tax relief and support measures for families but faces backlash from various political factions, including the CDU and Greens.

The stationing of a Bundeswehr brigade in Lithuania has sparked significant debate, with warnings from the BSW about escalating tensions with Russia. This situation reflects the complexities within the coalition, as differing opinions lead to strategic abstentions rather than outright votes, signaling an ongoing struggle to unify on major policy decisions.
