Overview
- Rhineland‑Palatinate’s Alexander Schweitzer and Saxony’s Michael Kretschmer are slated to present the agreed outcomes after final morning talks on Friday.
- Discussions focused on federal–state finances, Germany’s industrial economy and civil defence, including how Berlin compensates states and municipalities for costs from federal laws.
- The gathering aimed to forge broadly unified state positions to take into the next Ministerpräsidentenkonferenz scheduled for December in Berlin.
- Police reported up to 40 people demonstrating outside the Staatstheater Mainz calling for an AfD ban and defending the constitution, and Schweitzer thanked them for their engagement.
- All attendees were men as Anke Rehlinger of Saarland and Manuela Schwesig of Mecklenburg‑Vorpommern did not take part.
