be happy meanwhile she's also under pressure in her own party actually the union with the christian social union from bavaria they want to put an upper limit on the number of refugees and migrants that enter the country and that's something that the chancellor merkel has rejected up until now will she have to bow to that pressure well the christian social union the bavarians are really under a lot of pressure they lost even more votes and i'm going to cause christian democratic union in there on their home turf they're really desperate to reestablish. their power in bavaria and so for them these kind of demands are becoming very central very important they're going to push very hard on that and that's going to be really difficult because on the other side both of freedom across and the greens i think are not very easily persuaded to agree to something like that in fact the greens have said they will not agree so that could actually be the crucial point this one single point on which the whole thing could pivot in the end the other major barrier for chancellor merkel going forward is the far righ

these two parties are going to come together with angela merkel and her sister party the christian social union from bavaria and form some form of government it's going to be a long tough task ahead and a lot of focus is going to be on christian linda here. being taped prior to this election as a potential new foreign minister in the next couple of angle or merkel have a little look now with the thirty eight year old former dot com entrepreneur came from and how we made it to the stage this evening. so how these two parties are going to come together with angela merkel and to assist the party the christian social union from the various and form some form of government it's going to be a long tough task ahead and a lot of focus is going to be on christie and linda he was being tipped prior to this election as a potential new foreign minister in the next couple of angle or merkel have a little look now with the thirty eight year old former dot com entrepreneur came from and how we made it to the stage this evening. and. since then with the then government come up in usually within a few hours wil

i can't see if you said five or ten years out i cannot see this partnership between this christian social union and christian democratic union that's lasted for seven decades i cannot see that lasting much longer they're going to go their separate ways sooner or later and i think they're just not willing to admit it yet ok but the question here is who is the new trump in germany was the you might call in germany we only have on the market for the time being or do used does anybody see anybody who is going to mention another maybe you know which name yeah definitely but you're not going to mention it. well i'll leave it to you and popularly. fighting against each other and there's the rumor that the parking lights clicked into so you know it's not the strongest before last year not in france not as all the nice i've got to draw on then is an encyclopedic knowledge of german politics in the last decades we've got a fourth term chancellor there have been two that have gone before helmut kohl and konrad adenauer what can you tell us about what clues that might give us about how this is going to pan

second potential coalition partner of the chancellor namely her own bavarian sister party the christian social union they also raise their voice after mccrone speech today saying that they too see some red lines when it comes to that common budget and the common finance minister so with this point she may be mildly receptive to mr message in this area of common economic policy but she's going to have some tough persuading to do with those potential coalition partners he's got to get her potential partners on board the timing of the speech though is so interesting why is that wrong doing it now after the german election before the weeks of coalition wrangling make in. we're told that he absolutely intentionally timed this speech for this particular moment the reason is he absolutely must have germany on board germany is the country that pays most into the e.u. budget if he wants a common budget and they don't go along the idea is dead in the water so he must have german support apparently the idea in paris and he did speak to the chancellor twice in the past two days is that he wants to get that plan

so how these two parties are going to come together with merkel on to assist a polity the christian social union from the various and form some form of government is going to be a long tough task ahead and a lot of focus is going to be on christian linda he was being taped prior to this election as a potential new foreign minister in the next couple of. have a little look now with the thirty eight year old former dot com entrepreneur came from and how we made it to the stage this evening. and then with the yes and then go on the come up in this would be endlessly. that i will because my. i mean one in a particularly unusual election day stunt an elephant has been dumping around in cities that. the activists who organized the vocal bows they were inspired by the english expression and elephant in the room where they believe that the issue ever referenda are in germany as well as the telephones and become pain is place that over seventy percent of people in the country one feel that to be votes on key political decisions however the german government has so far ignored that combs well that's done

possible future show, if you said five or 10 years out, i cannot see this ship between the christian social unionnd christian democratic in you and for seven decades, i cannot see that lasting much longer. they will go their separate ways. they are just not willing to admit it yet. >> the question here is who is the new trump in germany and who is the new macron in germany? we only have angela merkel for the time being. >> you know which name, but you're not going to mention it. >> the populists are fighting against each other and there's the rumor that the party will split into. it's not as organized. >> about to draw on your encyclopedic knowledge, we have a four term chancellor. there have been two that have gone before. what can you tell us about what clues that might give us about how this will pan out? >> germans were tired of helmut kohl. that's why he lost the elections and eventually because it's a novel process that will eventually happen to angela merkel. soon, but whether she will be in office four years from now, i don't know. knonow but it could happen to her like it happened to hel

if michael wins she still needs extra coalition partners on top of her sister policy the christian social union already excluded and. see alternative for germany and left wing. this could pave the way for the renewal of the so-called grand coalition between merkel's party and martin says social democrats whether she will agree to become the cd used. is another question entirely so far he seemed unwilling to play second fiddle. because as governor. if an alliance with shills isn't an option this is the man merkel is likely to call next christian. the leader of germany's free democrats the pro-business liberal party that teamed up with merkel and her allies the for by the way isn't just a pretty face he could confront cole on some key issues. with peace prevails refugees must return. for treason your place in the world i'm not being harsh this is. speaking. even with lynn the hand shake in the bag merkel might still need extra help to get the winning line and that's why the green party could come into the fold with their top candidate green . similarities to. this cd you f.t.p. and the greens wou

christian democrats and also the varian conservative christian social union now we don't talk about them too much here on d.w. but they are relevant here because they have taken a course that is far to the right markedly to the right of angela merkel's conservatives particularly on the issue of immigration and that is going to be a problem. hughley when it comes to finding common ground with the greens the greens much more supportive of the open door policy that of course merkel introduced a couple of years ago and has rowed back from somewhat since then and the c.s.u. very much calling for a cap on immigration so there is going to be a really difficult negotiation or part of the negotiations the other thing of course will be the finding common ground between the greens and the free democrats free democrats often described as the party closest to business on the german political scene they're pushing for big tax cuts for business and they're also opposing any idea of sort of common budgets. for the european union and the euro zone those are things that the greens will find it very diffic

having to do a deal with essentially three parties the christian democratic union that angle america represents has its sister party the christian social union so they're already in a coalition of sorts and there are differences between the two of them but they're talking about going into what's called a coalition if the only option it's on the table at the moment if i'm going to work was to lead a majority government now that you make a coalition it's called so because of the party colors that are involved in it it makes it because of the jamaican flag but it includes the free democrats and the greens now those two disagree on many issues so they may well say yes we're all fighting to get into power into joy and then with this in we'll take our seats in the bundesliga will be only government when it comes to major issues particular trait the greens on going to get on side with trade major trade deals that angela merkel wants to put in place when it comes to greece the free democrats aren't going to agree to any kind of of the bailout so that is where the for. the navy galing the the ins and out of the real nitty gritty of talks is goi

kingmaker if michael wins she still needs extra coalition partners on top of her sister party the christian social union already excluded and. see alternative for germany and left wing. this could pave the way for the renewal of the so-called grand coalition between merkel's party and martin says social democrats whether we'll agree to become the cd use junior partner is another question entirely so far he seemed unwilling to play second fiddle. because as governor. if an alliance with shills isn't an option this is the man cole is likely to call next christian. the leader of germany's free democrats the pro-business liberal party that teamed up with coal and allies the full by the way isn't just a pretty face he could confront cole on some key issues. refugees must return prisoners such human rights for choosing your place in the world i'm not being harsh this is lauren realism speaking. even with lynn this handshake in the bag merkel might still need extra help to get her over the winning line and that's why the green party could come into the fold with their top candidate dubbed green for her similar

social democrats on the center left. provide a clear alternative and then you would have a competition again between the two major parties with different views because right now mrs merkel had turned the christian democratic union into a sort of a second social democratic party. problematic investor. let me bring you in now on the implications of this election for the rest of europe because of course there are implications do you think the british government let's start with britain will they be breathing a sigh of relief that the social democrats will not be part of this government given what martin schultz has said in the past his stance on bracks said you know threatening that the hardest threatening the hardest bret's it possible when he was president of the e.u. parliament i don't think that will make that much of a difference the future of the negotiations depend. burn in see it primarily on the brits whether they get their act together it negotiating seriously as long as there are divided among themselves in even more so within the conservative party it's going to be very very difficult to come to a positive conclusion regardless of whether our social democrats on government or not so the ball is in the

she also needs to deal with her friend and me in munich prime minister has a hold of the christian social union who is very much up in arms because his party lost badly yesterday he needs to stand in state elections. next year and he is he already said that the c.d.u. c.s.u. needs to close the right flank so he wants to pull the party to the right that will not go down nicely with the green party and on some issues also not with the with the free democratic mrs merkel is also very unlikely to win back a lot of voters from the because for just a lot of them she is the symbol of the chancellor who illegally led in millions of refugees many believe and who said that islam is a part of germany so i think if anything they'll be a contest because for who will be successor as party leader and the next candidate for the c.d.u. and there well may well be alternatives that position themselves much more to the right with a much more conservative message and that would open up space again for the social democrats on the center left to provide a clear alternative and then you would have a competition again

christian democratic union as well as the sister party the christian social union how they're going to come to the agreement is on the front page of all of the papers right now because that is going to be a tough get for parties essentially for different agendas they've all got to come together and form a government yet we've heard a lot of a lot of commentators saying it's got to be robust but this isn't an easy negotiation to take place these parties are very different beliefs hugely different issues we're looking it came to greece needing a for the bailout the free democrats who would be part of that coalition they would be right against that if it came to big trade deals like a tape like seat at these things that have been going on the go shit for years the greens would oppose them how until america works not in her new government a new cabinet. that's not a negotiation i would want to be part of so everyone saying great success for the alternative germany party but i want to paint a picture let's imagine that you know there's a party for political parties they have the sort of the

the christian social union from the very end and form some form of government is going to be a long tough task ahead and a lot of focus is going to be on christian linda he was being taped trying it to this election as a potential new foreign minister in the next couple of. have a little look now. and see if those sins and what the things on the come up in this would be interesting how it will be said i will this is my. code of the recent data this latest study is going to have an increase from six to seven zero five seats that's a lot of people sitting over our shoulder debating for us you know what's best. well we're looking just lost it the books on the screens they were keeping on what's. up to two thousand. people have. to be a very of the. headline and of course the big news about that is that. the first fight considering what happened during the second world war and the ramifications of the way that julie's treated the ramifications but ever since the first far right party to have an official seat in parliament in germany. since the end of big second world war it's a big new versio

would these two parties are going to come together with angela merkel and sister party the christian social union from bavaria and form some form of government it's going to be a long tough task ahead and a lot of focus is going to be on christian linda he was being taped prior to this election as a potential new foreign minister in the next couple of angle or merkel have a little look now with the thirty eight year old former dot com entrepreneur came from and how we made it to the stage this evening. thank. you. carville keeps in frenzy of lies from slides and then with t.v. ads and then government come up to him he would in most and i thought i was a little upset i was a prima my money. well the leader of the social democratic party martin souls was unable to hide his disappointment at the early exit polls and he spoke to his party in support of the little early let's go ahead take a look at that thank you thank . you thank you today's a difficult day for social democracy we missed out on our electoral gold after losing our central region and we lost the federal election. and so was michael's

sister party of america in bavaria the christian social union who have been pushing for some sort of cap on the number of refugees that can enter germany berthe the other parties involved the free democrats and the greens have said that there's no no chance of such a cap being imposed so they are the positions at the moment are still very far apart and it's very difficult to say how these things will work out and what kind of government will come out in the end the whole process is likely to take a long time if it's finished by christmas people will be satisfied. lost her party lost about one million voters to the far right in the right after that electoral catastrophe she said she wanted to win them back how can she do that. well she said that she's going to do that through application of policies through new adaptive policies from the side of her party i suspect this will mean especially additional measures additional strictures in terms of refugee and immigrants immigration policy there is much talk about this coalition having to decide on some sort of immigration law for germany

probably could well be the most difficult stumbling block in these negotiations the variance christian social union did very badly in the region in the area they're facing elections in about two years time regional elections there and if they lose their majority there. that is unprecedented in fact in german history so they would they would push very hard to push through their demands including this cap but the cap of something at the greens have already refused completely to find a common point. a compromise there and that and that single issue is going to be very very difficult how one issue can hold things up we'll be talking about more in just a bit you know a germans have elected a new parliament as we've been discussing of course and as we just heard from hans a new coalition government may take weeks even months to form for now the old government is still in place now if chancellor merkel wants to keep her job she must form a new coalition because her social democratic partners have pledged to go into the political opposition negotiations will be tricky if her new government is to hold an ab
