Overview

• Thuringia’s Left parliamentary faction formally withdrew from the 3+1 meetings on June 24, citing an inability to rely on past agreements.
• The 3+1 format, attended by parliamentary managers from CDU, BSW, SPD and the Left, was created to forge majorities in a hung state parliament.
• The Brombeer coalition of CDU, BSW and SPD holds no majority, leading to a stalemate with the Left and AfD opposition benches.
• Scheduled 3+1 sessions have been canceled ahead of the summer recess, though Mitteldorf said the format could be revived in the future.
• Mitteldorf declared that her faction will no longer act as the coalition’s majority provider and has left both the meetings and the associated chat group.
