The regional administration plans to take measures. - Kenya-based alliance led by Brandenburg assesses progress.

A little over 3 months before the state elections in Brandenburg, the red-blue-green alliance examines their time in office. Minister President Dietmar Woidke (SPD) is set to assess their tenure from 2019 to 2024 alongside his deputies, Interior Minister Michael Stübgen (CDU) and Health Minister Ursula Nonnemacher (Greens), on Tuesday (14.15 p.m.). The Kenya Coalition took power 5 years ago under the motto "Solidarity, Sustainability, Security." Their term was marked by crises - initially with the Corona pandemic and then the Ukraine war. The government considers the establishment of the Tesla factory in Grünheide near Berlin, with roughly 12,000 jobs, a significant accomplishment.

Throughout their tenure, the three partners executed various projects. They agreed to enhance the number of police officers, judges, and prosecutors, raise the minimum wage for public contracts, stop the creation of any new lignite mines, and make kindergartens free for children aged 3 and up. Yet, several issues remain unresolved, like the proposed amendment to the Hunting Act. The Greens have consistently opposed more authority for law enforcement and a more stringent migration policy. The opposition - AfD, Die Linke, and Unabhängige Wähler - have frequently criticized the coalition and spot different inadequacies.
