SPD: Meeting planned to continue exploratory talks

After the interruption of the exploratory talks in Saxony, a meeting between top politicians from the CDU and the BSW is planned for Monday morning, according to the SPD. This should clarify whether and how the talks could be continued, said a spokesperson for the SPD Saxony on request. However, the time and place have not yet been determined.

On Friday, the SPD had interrupted the exploratory talks for a so-called Brombeer coalition after a large proportion of BSW MPs voted in favor of a motion by the AfD for a coronavirus investigation committee. The committee of inquiry would have been set up even without the BSW's votes, as the AfD is represented in the state parliament with 40 MPs, but only 24 votes were required.
