Overview
- The Landtag voted down the AfD motion to dissolve the parliament, falling well short of the two‑thirds threshold required for new elections.
- BSW deputies aligned with the AfD on dissolution and an unsuccessful bid to remove Vice‑President Jouleen Gruhn, while several BSW members were absent.
- Following the session, BSW lawmakers Melanie Matzies and Reinhard Simon quit party and faction, shrinking the group to nine members.
- SPD and CDU signaled they will begin direct coalition negotiations, with Woidke governing in the interim as a minority.
- Three ministers chosen by BSW left the party but remain in office for now; ex‑BSW finance minister Robert Crumbach and MP Jouleen Gruhn joined the SPD parliamentary group, and the AfD’s attempt to oust Gruhn failed.
