party leader christian lin had to say. to date no new movement no further movement was attained we took steps backward instead of making progress because agreed on compromises were once again thrown into doubt a few it became clear that the four parties involved could neither share a common vision for modernizing our country nor establish a foundation of trust. and. a common idea and mutual trust have to be the basis for a stable government. we do not know what germany will face in the coming years in the world. but if for partners are unable to come up with a joint plan even for what is probable even after so much time and such extensive talks then this is no viable found. ladies and gentlemen it's already early morning. so this ended here and they bargain very comparable original representation we'd like to introduce our guests a position on the un i am the police chief for the first song is to listen talk and on this. historic day. you'd like to thank you them for their hospitality so we have four weeks of intensive neg
