Overview
- The BSW parliamentary group resolved to vote predominantly against the sixth and seventh media‑amendment treaties, with Finance Minister Robert Crumbach the lone planned Yes from BSW.
- The SPD caucus intends to back the measures after the SPD/BSW cabinet had already approved them, leaving the coalition without a reliable internal majority.
- CDU floor leader Jan Redmann indicated his party is inclined to support the treaties in the Landtag, while the AfD rejects them.
- BSW leaders argue the reforms do not go far enough and warn the youth‑protection provisions risk censorship, as SPD leaders urge BSW to reconsider.
- The treaties seek to make ARD, ZDF and Deutschlandradio slimmer and more digital and to tighten youth‑protection rules, drawing lessons from the RBB scandal.
