Overview
- Health Minister Britta Müller and Infrastructure Minister Detlef Tabbert said they left the BSW to focus on governing and keep the state administration stable and reliable.
- Following Finance Minister Robert Crumbach’s earlier departure, the BSW now has no ministers in Brandenburg’s cabinet.
- Dietmar Woidke ended the SPD–BSW coalition, citing the collapse of the BSW Landtag faction and the absence of a clear commitment to the coalition.
- The cabinet continues to work in a minority setup for the interim, and Woidke is preparing coalition talks with the CDU.
- Parliamentary arithmetic has shifted as Crumbach and ex-BSW MP Jouleen Gruhn joined the SPD group, and business chambers are urging swift SPD–CDU negotiations.
