The red-green government coalition was continued and Heide Simonis was again elected Prime Minister on March 28, 2000.

Federal political aspects

The state election was the first after the CDU donation affair was uncovered , and many hold it responsible for the fact that the CDU did not achieve the majority in favor of a change of government, which, according to surveys, appeared to be tangible. The trend against red-green and in October 1998 under Chancellor Gerhard Schröder SPD-Green Party government formed seemed stopped after red-green in the state elections in 1999 led SPD already with the replacement of the provincial government by CDU-led in Hesse and Saarland , the majority lost in the Federal Council and the CDU had then also won an absolute majority in Thuringia .
