German Bundestag Cancels Upcoming Session After Coalition Collapse
The Bundestag has canceled a week initially set for budget discussions due to the lack of a majority following the coalition breakdown.
- The Bundestag's decision to cancel the session was supported by the Union, SPD, Greens, and FDP.
- Originally scheduled for November 25-29, the session was meant for budget deliberations, now impossible without a coalition majority.
- Opposition parties, including AfD, Linke, and BSW, have criticized the cancellation, labeling it as a reduction of parliamentary work.
- Government representatives argue that the cancellation does not equate to a halt in operations, with critical legislative work continuing in December.
- Further session cancellations are anticipated, with potential reductions in January and February sessions due to the impending new elections.
