Germany: after elections, prelude to negotiations

In Germany, the day after the legislative elections, the parties position themselves with a view to forming a coalition. The Social Democrats are on a favorable run. But the leader of the Conservatives does not admit to being totally defeated.

In Germany, the day after the legislative elections, the political situation is far from clear.

It will undoubtedly take several days, several weeks, for things to settle down, and for the different parties to come to an agreement to form a coalition.

The leader of the Social Democratic Party (SPD) Olaf Scholz insisted on Monday on the score obtained the day before (25.7%), a score which places him in favorable waivers to access the chancellery.

Opposite, Armin Laschet, the leader of the conservatives, does not admit defeat, despite a historically low electoral result (24.1%).

He assures us that he is still likely to lead a coalition.

The Greens and the Liberals

All eyes are turned more than ever to the Greens taken by Annalena Baerbock. Having come third in the legislative elections, they will undoubtedly be essential partners of the next coalition.

The liberals, driven by Christian Lindner, also appear as the makers of kings, able to tip an alliance in one direction or another.
