According to German media reports on the 19th, the formal negotiations for the formation of a three-party cabinet by the German Social Democratic Party, the Green Party and the Liberal Democratic Party will begin this week.
In the German Bundestag elections in September this year, the Social Democratic Party ranked first with 25.7% of the votes. The Green Party and the Liberal Democratic Party ranked third and fourth respectively.
The three parties held exploratory talks last week and reached an exploratory agreement.
The three parties subsequently agreed to formally start negotiations for a joint cabinet.
Green Party Chairman Bell Burke revealed on the 19th that the three parties will set up multiple working groups to discuss various issues.
She emphasized that before discussing the personnel arrangements of various ministries and commissions, the content of the new cabinet government must be determined. She also emphasized that the new government must be a "climate protection government."
According to a report from the German Editor Network, the three parties will set up as many as 22 working groups to agree on the details of the joint governance agreement.
It is understood that the three parties reached an exploratory agreement last week, including taxation, social welfare, climate protection, and so on. Each party has made certain concessions. The financial issue is considered to be the key to the negotiation.
At present, both the Liberal Democratic Party and the Green Party have shown a strong desire to take charge of the Ministry of Finance.
Due to the huge ideological differences between the three parties, the process of bargaining in future negotiations will be very difficult.
According to the latest poll by German TV Station 2, up to 62% of the respondents approve the alliance formed by the Social Democratic Party, the Green Party and the Liberal Democratic Party.
