BSW and SPD Form First-Ever Coalition in Brandenburg

BSW leader Robert Crumbach assures stability for the five-year partnership despite a narrow two-vote majority.

The Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) and SPD coalition in Brandenburg marks the first such partnership in Germany.
BSW leader Robert Crumbach has guaranteed the coalition's stability throughout its five-year term.
Ministerpräsident Dietmar Woidke (SPD) was re-elected in the Landtag on December 11, requiring two rounds of voting.
The coalition holds a narrow majority with just two votes, but Crumbach expressed confidence in its durability.
The coalition emerged as the only viable option after other parties refused to work with the AfD.
