What is certain is that it will not make a minority government but for the rest Angela Merkel keeps her hands free.
The numbers released from the German polling stations suggest attempting a centre-right government made up of Cdu-Csu and the Liberals and Greens, but the number 2 of the Liberal Party (Fdp), Wolfang Kubicki declared today that his political force will enter the government only if there will be certainty about the change of political direction. The negotiations to give Germany a new executive therefore promises to be long and hard.
Precisely for this reason, Merkel takes nothing for granted in terms of alliances and does not give up trying to embark the Social Democrats again in the Gross Coalition, preventing the SPD from enlarging the ranks of the opposition. The Chancellor is optimistic: "We will also talk to the SPD" she commented in the last few hours.
