Freie Wähler Set to Form Parliamentary Group in Rheinland-Pfalz

The Ältestenrat has approved the Freie Wähler's bid to form a group, pending final Landtag decision.

The Freie Wähler's parliamentary faction dissolved after two members left, reducing their numbers below the required minimum.
Four former members seek to establish a parliamentary group to regain some political rights and financial support.
The Ältestenrat of the Rheinland-Pfalz Landtag has unanimously recommended approving their request.
A final decision will be made by the Landtag on November 13, where a simple majority is needed for approval.
If approved, the group will receive €42,000 monthly, allowing them to rehire some former staff.
