In Brandenburg, the SPD and BSW are nearing the conclusion of their coalition negotiations, with most major disputes resolved.

The parties have been in talks for three weeks, aiming to form a Rot-Lila coalition.

While they have agreed on several key issues, such as a ban on mobile phones in primary schools and increased police presence, some details remain unresolved.

The coalition agreement is expected to be finalized this week, with party congresses potentially approving it by the end of the week.

Ministerial positions are still under discussion, with the BSW seeking three posts, including the Interior or Finance Ministry.

A controversial inquiry regarding the expansion of the Holzdorf military airbase has caused some tension, but SPD leader Dietmar Woidke insists that the coalition is committed to enhancing Germany's defense capabilities.

The final decision on the coalition could see Woidke elected and sworn in by December 11.
