Merkel said she was willing to lead her party in case early elections were held.
“In my view we were very close to the agreement on co-governance”, the Chancellor said, commenting on the exit from the coalition scheme of the Free Democrats (FDP) and failed talks last night.
“responsibility for the failure of talks on forming a new ruling coalition falls on Liberals”, Merkel added.

The Chancellor, Merkel, expressed her appreciation for the Greens, who on many issues of talks had agreed with its conservatives of the Christian Democrat Union.
