Angela Merkel and Martin Schulz today faced a TV duel. Christian Democrat Chancellor and social rival Martin Schulz debated for 90 minutes broadcast from the four largest German TV channels ARD, ZDF (public television) RTL and SAT1 private television.

In many German media this major television event is considered the last chance for Schulzin to turn the situation into his favour, Time broadcasts. net.

The debate is over as Schulz's final message has been that “we live in a time of change” and that he expects as Germany's next Chancellor to form the future, not only to manage it. Merkel, too, focused on future challenges, emphasising the digital economy and social cohesion.

The only agreement between the two was to break the co-operation agreement with Turkey and cancel Turkey's EU membership procedure.

Schulz has promised that he will fight off the EU-Turkey agreement if it is elected Chancellor.

“This country cannot become an EU member”, he said.

Even Merkel said that “I don't see Turkey as a country to enter the EU, I've never seen”.

If I become a Chancellor, I will stop Turkey's EU entry”, she added.

The migration issue became the central issue of their discussion, where Schulz accused Merkel of not including EU partners in her decisions on closing borders with Germany.

Merkel defended her policy of borders where one million immigrants have entered Germany, saying they are not a threat to voters.

Despite her insistence that <x0 migrants are not a threat to the country”, she acknowledged that the refugee crisis has left Germany in a difficult “agenda”.

Its Schulz rival agreed with the decision to welcome refugees, but says the government must do more to stop “hate preachers”.

Even in the increase in inequality, there were tensions between the two sides, where Schulz accused Merkel of ignoring the cost of living, including increased rent and lowering salaries.

According to the weekly Die Zeit newspaper, the TV duel will be decided “if the end of the debate marks the end of the campaign, or the start for three more exciting weeks”.
