Thuringia Coalition Talks Stalled Over Disagreements

SPD's Georg Maier criticizes CDU and BSW for unilateral decisions on key issues, causing friction in coalition negotiations.

Thuringia's SPD leader Georg Maier has expressed dissatisfaction with the CDU and BSW for agreeing on a Corona investigation committee without SPD input.
Maier also criticized a guest article by CDU's Mario Voigt and others advocating for peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, seeing it as contradictory.
Negotiations for a potential 'Brombeer-Koalition' between CDU, BSW, and SPD have been complicated by differing stances on international diplomacy and defense policies.
The latest round of talks shifted focus from economic topics to resolving immediate issues, with no public statements following the meeting.
BSW's demands include a strong diplomatic approach to the Ukraine conflict and opposition to US missile deployments in Germany, adding to the coalition's complexity.
