Overview
- BSW deputy leader Christian Dorst urged Finance Minister Robert Crumbach to quit the parliamentary group, saying a planned yes vote would breach the faction's majority position.
- The BSW leadership moved to strip four recent party leavers of speaking rights for the upcoming plenary session, signaling a further escalation of internal discipline.
- The Landtag is scheduled to decide Wednesday on two media-state treaties covering public broadcaster reform and youth media protection, which most BSW lawmakers oppose.
- The four ex-party members plan to leave the chamber during the vote, a move expected to deny the SPD/BSW alliance its own majority, while the CDU has indicated it will support the treaties.
- Minister-President Dietmar Woidke expressed confidence the coalition can continue as the BSW state board reaffirms the partnership and Crumbach proposes mediation to resolve the dispute.
