MV after the election: Signs point to Red-Red-Green

After the state election in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, the phase of coalition negotiations begins – and the first switches have already been thrown. As Handelsblatt reports, the state is heading toward an alliance of the SPD, the Left, and the Greens. A Red-Red-Green state government under SPD leadership is coming within reach.

The fact that the switches are being thrown so quickly in this direction is mainly due to the CDU's performance: it emerges as the loser of the election. This has immediate consequences for the party itself.

CDU state leadership throws in the towel

For the CDU as the election's loser, there are personnel consequences – and they are significant. The state leadership throws in the towel. With this, the party leadership in MV is clearing away responsibility after the defeat and paving the way for a fresh start. Who will lead the CDU through the opposition in the coming years is thus the first major personnel question the state association must now answer.

What's coming up for MV now

With the clear signal toward Red-Red-Green, the substantive negotiations move to the center: What priorities will a possible alliance of the SPD, the Left, and the Greens set – from energy and economic policy through education to municipal infrastructure in the sprawling state? At the same time, the personnel upheaval at the CDU remains its own project. We will continue to follow developments in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
