Greens Leader in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Resigns Amid Pre-Election Dispute

The Green Party's state chairwoman in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern has resigned, according to WELT. Her departure followed a dispute, the outlet reports, and it comes before the state's Landtagswahl. The resignation lands in the middle of the state's coalition talks, as reported by MOPO. Exploratory discussions to form a government in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern have already begun, according to NDR.de and SZ.de. The timing places the Greens' internal shake-up directly alongside the negotiations over who will govern the state. The Berliner Zeitung describes the wider picture as a mix of closed-door meetings in Schwerin and maneuvering in Berlin, framing it as a question of which parties now intend to govern together.  The reporting so far does not detail what the dispute concerned, nor who will take over the state chair. The available accounts agree on the core facts: a resignation, a dispute behind it, and coalition talks already in motion. What to watch next: whether the Greens' leadership change affects the ongoing exploratory talks in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, and how the other parties respond as negotiations continue.
