Overview
- Two no-confidence motions against BSW caucus leaders Niels-Olaf Lüders and Christian Dorst failed 8–6 in a special meeting, underscoring a deep split.
- Four lawmakers — Jouleen Gruhn, Melanie Matzies, André von Ossowski and Reinhard Simon — quit the BSW party but remain in the parliamentary group and say they support the governing arrangement.
- A decisive vote on media-state treaties covering public broadcasting reform and youth media protection is scheduled for Wednesday, with most BSW legislators opposed.
- BSW Finance Minister Robert Crumbach says he will vote for the treaties and defended his stance publicly, citing prior agreement with party leadership.
- The four former party members plan to leave the chamber during the vote to avoid defying a caucus decision, as the SPD urges rapid clarity to safeguard a two-seat governing edge.
