Furious Departure: The Left Exits Thuringian Coalition's Format
Thuringia's Patt Coalition's 3+1 Format Abandoned by the Left Party - Departure of Left Party from the Coalition's 3+1 Structure with Thuringia and Patt
The Thuringian Left has finally had enough of the 3+1 coalition format, according to parliamentarian business manager, Katja Mitteldorf. They're tossing aside this tactic for negotiations, as it's become more of a dead horse than a fruitful approach, Mitteldorf states, having also ditched the chat group for the format.
The 3+1 format? Think of it as a regular meeting for parliamentary business heads from CDU, SPD, BSW (Alliance 90/The Greens), and The Left. It's all about finding majorities in the Thuringian parliament, which, in this case, hosts a raspberry government comprised of CDU, SPD, and BSW. The alliance lacks a stronghold of its own in the state parliament, thanks to opposition from the Left and the Alternative for Germany (AfD).
Mitteldorf made it clear: the Left is no longer supplying majorities for the raspberry coalition. She's given them more than enough time to figure out their role (nearly a year!), but it's no longer her concern what happens next.
No meetings have been scheduled for the 3+1 format before the summer break. Mitteldorf hasn't ruled out a possible revival, but it ain't her party's call on the matter. "We have a responsibility for this country," she said, but "it's not up to us to make suggestions."
