(9 years ago)The construction of a so-called “coalition, Xhemajka” with the Gjerlbart and Free Democrats currently appears to be the most likely way to form the new government at the helm with Angela Merkel. Merkel won't rule out the great co-ordination yet, Deutsche Welle” reported. Though somewhat weakened by their choices [...]
Merkel won't rule out the great coalition yet, Deutsche Welle” reported.
Although somewhat weakened by their worst elections since 1949, Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservatives remain the largest party and are seeking coalition partners.
Merkel has not yet ruled out coalition rule with the Social Democrats (SPD), even if the leadership of the centre-left party does not seem to want to play ball.
On Monday, Merkel added pressure on the SPD to review and work with Christian Democrats (CDU) and their bavarese party, the Christian Social Community (CSU). “All parties are able to join a coalition and have a responsibility to help create a stable coalition”, Merkel said, adding that she wanted to speak with Schulzø's SPD.
On Sunday, SPD leader Martin Schulz said his party would be a <x0 strong opposition force in this country to protect democracy against those who question it and attack it”.
Another open option for Merkel could be a coalition of the so-called “Gimajka” with the Green and Free Pro-business Democrats (FDP) as new CDU-CSU partners. The Chancellor has said she plans to speak to both sides.
However, such a coalition thus called because the colors of the three sides are represented on the Jamaica flag would present some major problems.
That was very clear Monday, when the leader of The FDP, Christian Lindner, took a green hit, accusing them of being obsessed with stopping fossil fuel stations and vehicles.
The 38-year-old head of the FDP has also said he opposes any reform of the single currency eurozone that would create a centralised budget to help alleviate financial problems experienced by individual European countries. We think it is necessary for the law to encourage individual responsibility in the finances of European states”, Linder said.
AfD '%s' co-chairwoman will not join her party.
Frauke Petry co-chairman and the old face of the Far Alternative for Germany ( The AfD), will not join its party's parliamentary group in the new Bundestag, after months of disputes with the rest of the AfD '% leadership.
She added that the party, which is set to enter Bundestag for the first time, had become <x0-antarchic” in the weeks it led to elections and “cannot offer voters a reliable platform for the government”. /Periscopi/
