Berlin’s Governing Mayor Kai Wegner (CDU) wishes for Brandenburg after the state election a stable government made up of centrist parties. It is the right of voters to decide for themselves, said the CDU politician at the “Kai Wegner on Site” discussion series at the Berlin Max Planck Institute for Human Development. He asked the people of Brandenburg “to vote democratically.”
Wegner did not make a specific recommendation for a party – not even for the CDU. “We live together in a region where Berlin and Brandenburg need each other,” he said. “We are a growth region. We have good economic growth compared to the federal government. And I believe we can continue on this path together,” said the Governing Mayor.
Thuringia as a cautionary tale
“We have a very, very good cooperation with the state government in Brandenburg, including with the Prime Minister. And I simply hope that Brandenburg will once again have a stable government from the democratic center,” explained the CDU politician.
The election results in Thuringia made it difficult to form a government there at all. It would be difficult to govern Thuringia stably over the next few years. “And I don’t want that for Brandenburg.” (dpa)
