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.
