Overview
- Government spokesman Matthias Schuppe said party leaders of the CDU, SPD and FDP will meet Monday to discuss the proposal.
- If SPD and FDP agree to continue the coalition under Sven Schulze, the Landtag could vote to elect him on January 28–29.
- Haseloff has conditioned an early resignation on preventing a minority government, with written assurances to be secured before he steps down, according to BILD.
- SPD leader Andreas Schmidt and FDP figures Andreas Silbersack and Lydia Hüskens said they are awaiting a formal CDU decision before taking up the matter.
- The switch marks a reversal of Haseloff’s earlier stance, and an unnamed insider linked the timing to AfD polling near 40 percent.
