Around two and a half months after the state election in Thuringia, the party leaders of the CDU, BSW and SPD have agreed on the draft of a coalition agreement. "A joint draft of the government agreement" has been drawn up, which is to be "finalized" in the next two days, according to negotiating circles. After two days of negotiations, a "forward-looking consensus" was reached. According to the information, the agreement provides for concrete measures in the areas of education, health, economy, migration, state modernization, social affairs and municipal development. Details are to be presented to the public on Friday. "We have made a good start that will noticeably improve the lives of Thuringians," said those close to the negotiators. One participant spoke of "constructive discussions on all substantive issues." Following the presentation, the respective party committees must still approve the contract. Wagenknecht is satisfied BSW chairwoman Sahra Wagenknecht was satisfied with the development on "maischberger". From everything she knows, her party's planned coalition agreement with the CDU and SPD "looks significantly different to the exploratory paper. And we are very happy about that," said Wagenknecht on the ARD talk show. However, she admits that there had to be "pressure" for this to happen.
