Political crisis in Germany, Merkel: I Choose New Choices

Not denying the political crisis the country has plunged into, the German leader said she sees no reason to resign from office.

Sunday evening, FDP liberals withdrew from talks on creating a coalition with the CDU bloc. Merkel's CSU and the green.

President Frank-alter Steinmeier called on parties to reconsider their positions and compromise for the sake of Germany's welfare, as expressed.

Situate, he called it unprecedented. Merkel faces the biggest challenge in 12 years as Chancellor. The path towards forming the government is resulting more difficult than hoped for”, she told ARD television, adding that she saw with scepticism a minority government, and that she preferred the new elections.

In another interview with the ZDF channel, Merkel confirmed that Germany needed stability and a government that did not need to seek the majority for any decision.

Some members of her party continue to hope for a major coalition with the Social Democrats, despite the fact that the party has consistently ruled out such an opportunity. Earlier in the day, SP leader Martin Schulz said his party was not afraid of new elections. Merkel's bloc was declared the winner of the September elections, but failed to secure the majority, while many of the voters deserted the main parties.
