Leaders of the CDU, CSU and SPD ended their coalition committee meeting in the Chancellery shortly before midnight. No results were announced, and no press conference is planned.
The talks lasted about six hours. The agenda included relief for high energy prices, the 2027 budget and further reform plans. It was the first session since the meeting a month ago in Villa Borsig.
Vice Chancellor Lars Klingbeil said before the committee that the last weeks should have gone better for the coalition. He expects a roadmap for upcoming projects. Labor Minister Bärbel Bas noted that differences between the Union and SPD have rarely been as noticeable as at present.
No concrete decisions were planned. A written statement is to follow instead. The coalition partners aim to take key decisions before the summer recess in two months.
