Conservatives will first enter the dialogue without schools, who apologized for the “bitter” defeat at 16 %, while their famous Defense Minister, Boris Pistorius, is expected to play a more central role.

“These are the beginning conditions for a new German government, which is facing Herculein works in domestic and foreign policy,” said Cornelia Willia’s Cornelia of Herity School.
“Someone hopes that Germany will be able to work quickly, so he just doesn’t need to see how Trump and Putin form the future.”

‘No fireworks’
Germany’s political crisis was given to a dispute in the Threeway Alliance of Schools, which broke down on November 6, the day Trump was re -elected.
“Germany has chosen a conservative turning point, but the formation of the government can be difficult after the CDU/CSU’s 30 percent reduction, it can be difficult,” Will said.

Mirz fired a bullet after the “left -lean conservative” desert Vegenchit Alliance (BSW) fired five percent of the cut off mark in Bundstig.
Very few parties have made it easier to gain a majority, and by keeping the BSW in Parliament, it would have forced a coalition of three parties like the leadership of the schools.
“Germany has learned a difficult path in the last three years that such alliances are anything but stabilizing the government’s ability to take action,” said Will.
The Liberal FDP, which gave rise to the abolition of the school’s government, also lost five percent obstacles and crashed out of the Bundsteg.
