Berlin Left Party votes to open coalition talks with Greens and SPD

The Berlin branch of the Left Party has voted by a broad majority at a special party congress to invite the Greens and SPD to exploratory talks on forming a state government. This marks a potential shift toward a left-wing coalition in Berlin, though Union faction leader Thorsten Frei has publicly warned against cooperation with the Left Party, signaling political opposition. The outcome of the talks remains uncertain, and the feasibility of a three-party coalition is yet to be tested.
