Overview
- SPD caucus leader Björn Lüttmann said the coalition will continue despite BSW’s majority stance against two media-state treaties.
- SPD warned BSW that this breach of voting unity must remain a one-off and that joint votes are expected going forward.
- In the Hauptausschuss on Wednesday, Finance Minister Robert Crumbach (BSW) is expected to vote yes, while BSW leader Niels-Olaf Lüders plans to vote no in the plenary next week.
- CDU pledged to back the treaties in committee and in the Landtag, meaning passage is expected even without a coalition majority.
- BSW faces internal strife, with four lawmakers filing a no-confidence motion against the faction leadership, as Brandenburg and Lower Saxony remain the last state parliaments to ratify the reforms.
