s.p.d. political party. ship business and i consider it as somebody who's. well newly elected chairperson of the s.p.d. use to be my job and my responsibility is to help shape this jobs. with the members of the party and to continue to serve us. before you will thank you to before when we divorce you can argue. with him or you can end it tonight which was i'm the boy also saying that it's the end of a corporation with the c.d.u. c.s.u. and the grand coalition. was. before they'll be we were when we were going to if we can also be the biggest party member scarce before we ever gets there guess. you can see how we could also according to your not by view coalition has clearly lost support and they said actions would be a parliamentary majority. the calculations show beyond the current government coalition until america has previously. said that she is in favor of a coalition with the c.d.c.'s who am the f.t.p. the greens we are happy to go into opposition i am saying this is now. service you're not going under with all do you clarity i am confident stuart asked

going to interrupt you now that shows we actually are hearing that martin schultz they had of the s.p.d. party has been speaking live let's listen in to what he's saying. from have started and to be more deeply grateful for you don't thank . us for. this was a great. election campaign and we showed what organizational strength we have in our party and i want to thank. you. very bland. all the road years as well our entire election team i want to thank all of you what you did release a new benchmark. in the elections will come it was not crowned miss victory but you showed how well structured we are as a party the organization was very smooth so i want to thank you billy and. headquarters here. thank you for all of the work everyone has done in the election campaign i'd like to thank you all by name but i'd be here all day if i did that thank you. what if football players always say as soon as one get matches over you've got to think about the next match and obviously this doesn't apply entirely to us but certainly it's a new season for us here and we're going to start the new season right now.

s.p.d. voters they're not having a whole lot of fun and here's one who's addressing the party directly on twitter he says dear s.p.d. i hope you use this now for shift to the left that's where we come from and that's where we belong many other voters of course reacting to the rise of the a.f.d. tonight one here saying i've talked to my grandparents earlier who still cannot hear the word nazi without flinching and now i have to explain this and now the hash tag eighty seven percent currently trending on twitter in germany and it's being used to let the world know that most voters here did not support the a.f.d. one voter here writes we must not react to the a.f.p. with fear but with more solidarity and togetherness o.s.b. voters and yes the eighty seven percent all trying to make sense of these results tonight all right voter sharing what's on their hearts and minds online carl last one thanks for breaking it down for us we're seeing more of you in the course of the evening by for now. we're almost out of time before we go let's take another look at the projected results based on vote counts right

bloc coming in after her is the s.p.d. party which has recorded twenty point four percent of the vote but they have also recorded one of their worst performances in an election in recent history the left party and the greens remaining pretty much where they were in the previous election of nine point one percent that's where they're hovering and the greens at nine percent but really the real victim in this election was the f.t.p. this is the pro-business party we've just heard from them in that previous reports now they were unable to make it into the bundestag in the last election but look at that number ten point seven percent of the vote clearly indicating that they are back and they are here possibly to stay and of course the f.t.v. alternative for germany managing to ghana thirteen percent of the total votes now obviously this means that they are going to be a party represented in the bundestag and how that is going to fare out in the coming government is something that we will continue to discuss right here in the evening

to discuss today today we will have the the first party meeting to try and precisely fill that assessment with content filled that idea that the s.p.d. will be the strongest party in opposition with concrete proposals and concrete also figures it is still unclear for example who would be the parliamentary leader when the s.p.d. becomes the largest party in opposition does something else that leaders are going to be discussing here today in the s.p.d. but again what was important from martin shows just now is trying to present a vision forward for the video as you yourself said using a phrase from the football was something that he particularly likes you know the first time that he uses football to try and compare the sport with his own career and something that he did here today to say well after the match is also before the match and this is a new phase for the s.p.d. a new phase in opposition and new phase indeed thomas ferro with the very latest from the s.p.d. headquarters thank you so much for putting it all into context for us. well let's head now to our panel of experts who are here in the studio to talk a little bit more abo

party also the s.p.d. and of course we will find that them and the coalition agreements depending on how the end that will be reflected in the will not have an impact on that merkel's major rival martin so also said that forming a coalition with merkel is not an option and that his s.p.d. party will go into opposition. you also have political but we used to have politics without debate without discussion on that so it was my. politics and it's important to put into it the role of the opposition in german parliament is an important one dystrophy it's a responsible role so we issue for the next plenty of debate an opposition now means that perhaps the most likely option is the so-called jamaica coalition as it goes forward in alliance with the pro-business free democratic party and the green party where they got their differences to development are playing away from the council they went to m.m.a. where hundreds of protesters have gathered in the city of dresden for an anti is. there for us. this is widely r

and the social democrat s.p.d. party have more common ground than differences. one of the most pressing issues in german foreign policy is their relationship with turkey both parties agree on a tougher stance against turkish president. at the t.v. duel the two candidates had only slightly differing standpoint so in turkey. while s.p.d. front runner martin schulz called for ending economic and financial relations the customs union and e.u. accession talks the c.d.s. anglo-american supports freezing accession talks but stresses that diplomatic relations need to continue. the differences between the parties are slim in many areas but not when it comes to defense. c.d.u. agrees with the us president and nato who want to raise defense spending to two percent of gross domestic product the social democrats are opposing such plans by saying that will not happen with the s.p.d. . after years of crisis and political turmoil things are looking up in europe but the e.u. reforms are urgently needed and expectations are high for germany to take the lead . the s.p.d. has a prog

coalition partner martin schultz has said his s.p.d. party will go into opposition showed thier not an option for this peter all over new harvey are in berlin studio and they talked earlier on the shift in politics this election. it's been clear the germany. chancellor however is a bit of both really when you put it like that there's certainly been people who change their vote to previously would have voted for. change there's also those that would have wanted more from the party to challenge those decisions made by the chump change as well and they've they've lost around a million votes many of those going to be the alternative to many policy. she was asked about. the future because she's going to be chancellor we still don't know what kind of government is going to be chancellor at the moment though. altered. for germany would they have any influence in making migration policy she had this to say very very to the point. you know i don't believe that i believe that the partition can go into a coalition will find solutions search for them the

major rival martin so also said that forming a coalition with merkel is not an option and that his s.p.d. party will go into opposition. you also have political party we used to have politics without debate without discussion on that so it was like sleepwalking politics and it's important to put into it the role of the opposition in german parliament is an important one it's a responsible role that we assume for the next term plenty of debate in opposition but means that perhaps the most likely option is the so-called jamaica coalition as it goes forward in alliance with the pro business free democratic party and the green party where they got their differences. some european leaders of welcomed alternative to germany's success in the mean time not surprisingly the dutch far right leader villagers posted a photo of himself with the chief for the election campaign but she made headlines too as we saw she's decided to leave the party altogether earlier on she walked out of a meeting with the. members the top flight of the told to go away she says they will fight together no for their countries th

rival martin so also said they're forming a coalition with merkel is not an option and that his s.p.d. party will go into opposition. political party we used to have politics without their brains cut without discussion from their. politics and it's important to put in its rules us in the role of the opposition in german parliament is an important understand if it's a responsible role as such we shouldn't for the next term. that means that perhaps the most likely option is the so-called jamaica coalition that's been much talked about now an alliance with the pro-business free democratic party of the green party where they've got lots they don't see eye to eye or have to do because in districts. european leaders of welcomed alternative for germany's success meantime the dutch far right leader get billed as maybe no surprises that posted a photo of himself or the chief for the election campaign prokop petry but there's been news from her as well nikki today big news here as we just said. the store has decided to leave the party she said they will fight together for their country the vote was al

that people are looking for a change and so people are turning away from a stablish many parties like the s.p.d. like the c.d.u. and there are they're looking for alternatives including going towards the alternative for germany the a.f.d. all right because john meyer and of course want to be with us in the studio thanks for the talk. right we can move on now to some other news iran claims it has successfully tested a new medium range missile it's not clear exactly when that launch took place but the announcement came just days after u.s. president donald trump sharply criticized iran's government and threatened to demand changes to the international agreement on iran's nuclear program. iran claims its latest medium range ballistic missile can carry several warheads as far as two thousand kilometers state t.v. showed footage of the launch from an unspecified location within iran. a day earlier the new missile was the star attraction at a military parade in the capital tehran a defiant president rouhani insists iran does not need permission to develop its missile program. the market whether the w

party. well with the s.p.d. ruling out a grand coalition repeat one party that could play a role in germany's next government is the greens they increased their vote share to almost nine percent but the party's cochairman as dimia was circumspect about the night's results. jemison mia you have missed one of your goal was to become third strongest party but at the same time you were better than last time which was also a goal is that enough to have this good mood here but of course i'm happy about our election result but at the same time after it makes it i'm very unhappy with the election result of the a fifty we're living in a divided country so that brings along responsibility for all of us to take over responsibility to deal with divided society and everybody means everybody that includes the social democrats i don't think this is the time to say that we don't talk everybody has to be ready to take over responsibility. coming back to your own party you already said you have to talk is this now a moment where t

party chair. i've advised the s.p.d. leadership that we go into the opposition soon we're all united in our decision. to take this step. i mean he's i'm sure that. with the s.p.d. out one of michael's possible coalition partners is the pro-business free democratic party and they came back strong after a humiliating defeat four years ago the reform than the reform the dear friends. the last election period was the first in the history of our republic without the voice of the f.t.p. . and it should be the last. was three and the environmentalist greens are another possible key part of the governing coalition but only on their own terms. this is n.p.r. not it was if we will accept the invitation to talk but we will stick to our opinion. we want to change this country we are not in politics in order to have power we're doing politics because we want to change something. one party that won't be in any coalition is the far right alternative for germany they had a historic night that saw them enter parliament for the first time

came from four more conservative voters roughly half a million came from the center left party the s.p.d. and slightly less four hundred thirty thousand from the left party much smaller numbers they're coming from the greens the f.d.p. but it's important to remember that over a million of the votes were taken from the conservatives it was a lot of credence to this theory that the i have d. votes were perhaps a protest vote against miracles migration policy we can also take a look at which germans voted and for whom we've got a heat map here to show you where the a.f. to support is coming from geographically now look over here here in the east of the country we've got a lot more blue and that means a lot of the f.t.'s support is coming from eastern germany the support is still relatively weak here in western and southern germany traditionally the wealthier parts of the country but here in the east where people sometimes feel they've been left behind economically the a.f.d. did quite well. we've got a few other facts and figures for you we can also show you an east west split of help peopl

the labor party conference and it was really honest what what do they do differently and how can the s.p.d. learn and many people who are arguing about it so it's really different situation here in the u.k. and that we've had and stella to politics that people really felt they felt their wages their real wages going down and this is not a situation that you you have in germany where also for example the rents are rising but it's not as much a problem as here in the u.k. in london for example but what the is pretty could learn maybe is how during the korban was managing to reach out to young people by being authentic and by being themselves this is what one woman said to me he really knows he taps into what labor is about so he had a lot of success with digital strategies you tube is that interviewed him and it really came on board with his with his new movement thank you so much to get lost there in london. we're going to talk about the success of digital strategies will some of us are concerned that the digitalisation and robot of the zation of the world will make things difficult how lon

party chair. i've advised the s.p.d. leadership that we go into the opposition soon we're all united in our decision. to take this step. i mean he's i'm sure that. with the s.p.d. out one of michael's possible coalition partners is the pro-business free democratic party and they came back strong after a humiliating defeat four years ago the reform then before and their friends. before the last election period was the first in the history of our republic without the voice of the f.t.p. . and it should be the last of the let's the divisions and. the environmentalist greens are another possible key part of the governing coalition but only on their own terms. and. we will accept the invitation to talk but we will stick to our opinion. we want to change this country . we are not in politics in order to have power we are doing politics because we want to change something. one party that won't be in any coalition is the far right alternative for germany they had a historic night that saw them enter parliament for the first time

party won thirty four percent of seats in the one to start the s.p.d. one twenty one percent the f.t. far right party was third with thirteen percent the remaining three parties all won around ten percent of seats in parliament merkel is largely expected to build her coalition with the pro-business f.t.p. party and the green party or let's bring in our panel who all join us from berlin today detract long hours of retired german ambassador and former permanent representative to the e.u. to alston bena as director of the global public policy institute and bethany alan abraham and as a contribution writer for foreign policy magazine welcome to you all and best of one caliph i could start with you is the chancellor angela merkel's christian democrats have won a fourth term but given this is their worst electoral result in the post-war era you know since nineteen forty nine they're down eight point six percent from the last election result just how but her sway to victory is this. well it is after all is certain the limited triumph. for the fourth time she is

s.p.d. friendly tasks around it's part of the parties seventy two hours campaign ahead of tomorrow and read its pokémon go. there is another initiative that it's going on that i think we should talk about it's a hash tag initiative targeting women that's right i didn't know this until this week but apparently in every election in june. since nine hundred fifty three more men than women have turned out to the polls and that's you know a bit surprising because there are about two million more women in germany then there are men so there's a new campaign which is trying to change all of that it's called joe woman as opposed to germany it was launched by twenty three german magazines with a combined readership of more than twenty million each of those magazines has content specifically targeted today readers with a mix of celebrity news fashion and activism to try and get more women out to the polls now the editor in chief of germany's glamour magazine has told us why she got behind joe woman a let's listen to what she had to say that it meant. the big will have. to have it this confederate fin

s.p.d. the party that would put a stop to inflation. voters didn't know adenauer as government had agreed a secret deal with industry to keep prices under control until after the election. the outcome was clear well before midnight. the christian democrats won with fifty point two percent of the vote their first absolute majority there from in physics good. sources tell me that the only election night went to bed as usual the final results. until yet he said there's nothing more i can do. or at least that is the lead candidates have to make a statement to the press by seven o'clock the same evening. villi blunt as german voters have seen him in recent months dimensional he attracts crowds wherever he goes and no west german political leader has spoken so directly to the voters. let's find out more about him. is that if i mean given the fact that my family and i was a cunt well that's right voters had never before seen a biographical report like this one it showed beyond heading home after a hard day's work. it was mine's me of a us elec

is already bake ating her post as her party prepares to move into opposition that's the social democrat minister of labor and social affairs under way a novice s.p.d. parliamentary group have elected her as their new leader not as is a member of the party's leftist wing earlier the s.p.d. centrists had protested against her candidacy. before now let's bring in our political correspondent hans bunn so hans this social democrats have named a forty seven year old woman and they had novice from the left wing of the party to lead their parliamentary group in opposition is this what a fresh start looks like for the embattled s.p.d. . it's certainly a start for a fresh start one has to say it's the very first time that there's a woman who will be leader of the opposition on behalf of the social democrats she will be their face in parliament and that will make her a very prominent voice for the party and being forty seven years old obviously means that she's also of the younger generation so in both senses it is a new start for the party obviously that is not mean that the party as a whole has yet to establish itself. firmly in a new camp on the left and

s.p.d. supporters almost as many from the left party and smaller numbers roughly forty to fifty thousand for both the greens and the f.t.p. so it bears repeating this idea that the conservatives are bleeding support to the f.t. is borne out by the numbers that we're seeing right now we can also take a look at which part of germany is most supportive of the after because the trend here is really interesting here in the eastern part of germany the a.f.d. has a lot more support than it does in the considerably wealthier west or the considerably wealthier south east germany appears to be a stronghold for the a.f.g. right now and we can also take a look at the east west split if you look at the a s d. you can see down here in the eastern part of germany they had twenty one point two percent in the west just half that number about ten percent the a.f.d. much stronger in the east of germany then in the west so what does all this mean let's talk to our analyst from the parliamentary studios christopher spring great great to have you here we're looking at your back earlier in that shot we get to have

but on the other hand what you see is that the other parties will keep on like especially the s.p.d. to socialist party will people saying that they are now cease and one day i would say that it will become very easy for the f.d.a. to just be themself. and to make it more easy so one day are more professional the other side they will just let the f.t. say what they have to say and. it will come out very strongly. the sort of on martin shows i mean he's being called a bit of a still loser after this is that it but he will be in opposition to merkel's party but many say that that positions us so from medical positions on issues a strikingly similar to what is this just rhetoric you are about to see any real change in model so this is dongs. i think it's more rhetoric i think he isn't really serious about going you know position i think is just playing a game so when say first time we are going your position left the field for open for gold to go try to work something out with the with three parties which are fairly on the left side where it's our fairy pro. very pro open borders set tro

this place was vacant in the party of the c.d.u. s.p.d. and the green party of seem to speak with one voice song which meant that and the fire right of the political spectrum a new power has emerged. closing this gap at the center of the political spectrum and on that we want to ensure that. different policy decisions are made in germany. we want to ensure that from the position of the opposition we can supply arguments into the nightspot abates a f d r's but seeing in them all. is one that has an author terry and gracious supremacy driven view out of the world often that is obviously an shocking that they are in the bundestag but we're going to engage with them politically and from there we will not allow them to constantly provoke as i think we're quite familiar with their methods and tactics now with their rhetoric our aim is going to be to talk about the. issues facing our country on a factual basis and to force the party to take a clear stance on this because the liberals we see this as a mandate. to. confront this party which goes aga

s.p.d. twenty point five percent that's the central left party shown in red in pink you'll see the left party nine point two percent of the vote the greens eight point nine percent of the vote for the environmental party the pro-business f.d.p. taking ten point seven percent the far right a day or alternative for germany currently polling at around thirteen percent old the other parties have collectively got just under five percent not enough to make it into the german bundestag and give you a quick look at how things have changed since the last german election in twenty thirteen this graph shows us clearly that the city you see as do those are miracles conservatives and the s.p.d. germany's two big mainstream parties or losers of the evening both of them losing significant support the left and the greens gaining ever so slightly but the real gains are the f.d.p. the pro-business party up about six percent and the a.f.d. up over eight percent set to enter germany's parliament for the very first time. well what does all this mean for germany and for europe for some analysis now on the head of

the chancellor essentially has to go to these two parties because as you say the s.p.d. has ruled itself out although frankly she was saying today she's going to call the s.p.d. anyway and i think that's the beginning of her bargaining tactics if she were to admit that she really has only one option here obviously the two potential partners the greens and the business friendly free democrats have a lot more leverage so i think when we're hearing some conflicting signals there about the possibility of a renewed growth grand coalition that's partly tactics how would it work well these negotiations can go on until christmas time they will take weeks and they will be very tough basically what happens each party has its party program that was put together before the election campaign to tell voters this is what we stand for this is what we want to do if we get into office they will essentially compare their programs and say where do we match up where is there some room for compromise and what are our red lines where would we say we can't we can't move beyond these principles

party instead of his his income of people tell me they come from a family that's always voted s.p.d. but they went with the far right because they felt we needed to wake up we have to win back of voters if we just sit around and white for four years that's not going to happen. you talk of it. and is it pains to find out how to get his constituents back in his camp at least the blue collar contingent in his neighborhood pub he runs into supporters of the far right that only i would have voted for the f.t. too but you know what i threw away my palate. to. the place i don't even have the nerve to drive to the main station anymore. wipers when you saw you mary. rising crime rates eleven percent unemployment and a migrant population of forty percent and all that in a city that's run out of money and has few resources to solve its problems that's how analysts are explaining the social democrats stronghold turning to the a.f.d. but this area in the road valley has long been known for its successful integration of hundreds of thousands of migrant workers once known as guest workers decades a

i think that both the to do michael's party and the s.p.d. are not keen to go into another grand coalition because the s.p.d. has been in two ground coalitions in the last three governments with merkel and what she's been very successful at doing is kind of taking their flash flood ship policies and making them hers to the s.p.d. has been declining in the polls it's going to have to do a lot of soul searching after this really terrible result for them so i think the most likely coalition will be that you make a coalition the liberal f.e.a. the greens and it's to do but it remains to be seen a coalition building always takes a lot of time in germany last time and lost elections four years ago it took eighty six days so now the focus is really going to be domestic and these talks are going to go on for a while what they're going to fight about or what the negotiations will be about primarily is which cabinet positions go to which leaders in which parties obviously the to do merkel's parties remains the strongest. just a quick thought from you i

her party thirty three point three percent the s.p.d. say they don't be in the grand coalition in future not in shorts and social democratic party for them in second with twenty percent he was hoping for a lot more big gains this year for the old terms of the germany party they're going to enter parliament for the first time and so far scoring just over thirty percent meantime close behind is the free democratic party with term point five percent seen as the most likely coalition partner for angle a merkel thirty eight year old in charge there good night for him while the left party and the greens looks set to get around nine percent as well. following the first exit poll showing that the f.d.a. comes in third in the election the party's leaders have proclaimed historic victory they've given an outline of what they're going to do let's listen. to. the battle isn't over yet. they are going to do everything. to push us into right wing corner i think now we have achieved what is really a particularly revolution which is happening here at six

s.p.d. candidate the head of the party if his party you know gets a majority here he would presumably be chancellor but of course that the polls are not supporting that as a result nick where you are in berlin and we have to mention that that is just kilometers away from the heart of the german government here in the country. where how are voters there leaning who are they favored to vote for. so this constituency sara traditionally votes for the center left s.p.d. they've had this direct seat for the last few parliaments having said that the interesting thing to look out for this election in at least for this part of berlin would be the first vote the direct mandate as it's known in germany but the second vote german votes have two votes and it'll be interesting to see if they give their second vote to one of the big parties or one of the smaller parties they've been predictions we might even see six parties in the in this talk of these elections that that would be the interesting thing to look out for. and nick i know you can't see this but basically we are having now the moment where martin cast

s.p.d. voters regardless of whether they're disappointed by their party or still hoping that it will do better than that than it's bold to do in the election with out fail they all say this grand coalition has not been good for our party we've lost our profile to some degree we've lost our way even when we're successful at putting some of our issues through it getting them passed into legislation the citizens often don't see that that was in a speedy victory so there's a real sense that it would probably be a good thing for the party to go into opposition and sharpen its focus and its message and yet the chances that there will be another grand coalition look pretty strong unless the party basis says to the party leadership we are not going to support you if you call for a grand coalition the leadership has said it will put the matter to a vote and it's possible that the core would say sorry we're not going to do it interesting that they had to put out melinda craig thank you. well federal elections that on sunday there will hear d.w. want you to join in the discussion you can follow our cover

i spoke to a member of the german parliament from the opposition party pay said the s.p.d. is ready to make the election race and that fighting one. up on this because of the electoral race is not over yet as for the opinion polls on the one hand this is encouraging for martin schulz who many people see as a more competent appealing and committed politician with clearer political views they've seen the different sides of him when they hadn't seen before i have to say who should be prepared for a tough fight the electoral race is just started and we will make it exciting. as under starts off it is the state's responsibility to ensure the safety of its citizens we will achieve this at the local level by increasing police numbers of the c.d.u. f.t.p. governing coalition close down a lot of police stations under the idea that the best state is a weak state it's a lot of hard work from the social democratic party to put a stop to this and now we are working to strengthen and expand the police force in those states the same thing happened at the federal level and we had to get do

s.p.d. talking about his his party's role in opposition so obviously this will mean that in the next four years the debates in the german parliament will become even more interesting not only with the a.f.d. as the newcomers but also with the social democrats as the main opposition party did abuse reporting for us from want to thank you thomas. you're watching d.w. news still to come football dortmund are in good form in the bundesliga but they face a tricky challenge tonight against real madrid in the champions league will have a preview. but first a look at the financial impact of the german election result let's go to helena now thank you seem you would of course you know how it usually goes when there is political uncertainty when you can see anxiety in the business community following the longer those talks over a new coalition government he remembered lynn run while the german business confidence stands to be shaken it's no surprise then that companies here are hoping for a quick resolution that's not the only thing worrying business leaders in germany. voices in german industry have expr

party the greens and the democrats. and perhaps the coalition will emerge in the end if the s.p.d. doesn't cause and there is a grand coalition of that's. what i want. is that you look at the content of what the f.d.a. has been offering in its party platforms in the last two elections. and we now want to make sure that we practice out where this stuff is our staff our m.p.'s in the. honest heart of social good to make sure that what you not do little becomes harder also inlaid so in the past we've often very sidelined we've been misquoted. and people have tried to paint a picture that is not true to a reality. wide and here i would like to thank all of the campaigners of the a life as compared to the other party as most of the people who supported us were volunteers and i would like to thank you very much indeed because they have made us their success possible. just one last word because i think on a day like this we should be open to the fact that there is also sometimes disagreement within our own party. and we must not be silent on this because you have to as i said we are suppor

s.p.d. failed to be under law merkel the german stone trust to a party to govern the country why. that's i cannot answer because if you can't answer that there will not be a future for your party well that is not true the situation is times you lost three times you could be convince the germans i'm asking you why and you don't have an answer well the answer is as i said before of epigram coalition situation as we have also asked here they are for a similar situation don't help political debate we haven't had a political debate and that's something i'm really odd for calling an angular mirco that she didn't allow and she's not interested to debate political topics and that is a very new this is a very crucial point given stating crucial topics on with women germany is a democratic state for sure so with all due respect to angle a miracle she's allowing or not nobody is forbidden you to discuss to have debates. you don't need the permission of angela merkel well this is not true when you look at the complain and in particular an electoral campaigns are the crucial time for democracy

and i got a different party unfortunately also the s.p.d. is not able to reasonably run the country what are you supposed to think about it apply. where mr gardley a little foreign minister. has a refugee welcomes button on his label three days before the elections he says the refugee policy was wrong what are people supposed to think about these types of parties so yes i know that we have. got a lot of trust from the voters and will make all efforts to also. accept. this. it's up to the others as well and we put it quite clearly we want to be a clear possession column and. a border stark must again we discuss social issues but this was no longer the case i said it yesterday already and i said it during the campaign rallies us while i remember when i was a young man i remember the major the pains between. it was about the policy it was not a policy all momentous had tried. just to mention one reasonable debate in the parliament mr bush but set the same thing reasonable debate about the end of a. russia sanctions or. the saving the euro etc t
