Erfurt (dpa / th) - Left, SPD, Greens and CDU in Thuringia are working on a new agreement that should enable state parliament decisions until the early state elections in September.
Discussions will include how a state budget can be prepared for 2022, it was said on Wednesday evening after a meeting of the four parties in Erfurt.
The agreement is intended to define specific projects that will be implemented in the coming months.
The red-red-green coalition of Prime Minister Bodo Ramelow (left) is four votes short of a majority in parliament.
It is therefore dependent on the opposition CDU parliamentary group, with which a stability pact existed until the state budget was approved in 2021.
A challenge for the unusual political construct could be the three-day session of the state parliament at the beginning of February, at which, according to the party leader of the Left, Susanne Hennig-Wellsow, around 70 items should be on the agenda.
"We should end as much as possible of what we have already put on the parliamentary path together," said Hennig-Wellsow.

According to its parliamentary group leader Mario Voigt, the CDU parliamentary group wants to conclude a “corona pact” with the red-red-green minority coalition.
Among other things, it should bring about a change in the vaccination strategy towards larger vaccination centers and progress in digital teaching in schools.
According to the negotiating partners, further meetings are planned for the agreement.
The Thuringian state parliament is to be re-elected on September 26th - the day of the federal election.
