Angela Merkel comes out: Strikes sharply on candidate expected to occupy Chancellor position

Mrs. Merkel warned that the vote for the Schelzi party, the SPD, could be the vote for the extreme left.

“German is in the face of selecting direction,” she said, the BBC reports, translates Periscopi.

Voters had two options, she said: either a government made from the centre left and green “that accept support from the left party, or at least sʹefer from”, or a conservative government with its party candidate, Armin Laschet, as Chancellor.

This is what Germany stole,” said Mrs. Merkel in Bundestag a few weeks before handing over the 16-year mandate as Chancellor.

Its statements are seen as very unusual because it has so far made no attacks on the coalition partner before MPs. /Periscope
