Berlin SPD advises on coalition after repetition of parliamentary elections

If the alliance came about, Giffey would lose her position as head of government to election winner Wegner. She herself could become part of a new government as a senator. After the February 12 election, the CDU probed with both the second-placed SPD and the Greens, who were only a hair's breadth behind the Social Democrats. At the same time, the SPD and the Greens also spoke with their previous coalition partner, the left, about continuing the previous alliance.
