Not for being expected ceases to surprise the collapse of Olaf Scholz and social democrats in The elections in Germany. The German Foreign Minister’s spd has remained in 16% of the votes, according to the polls at the ballot box, which represents the worst result in the history of the party.
And, also for the first time, the SPD has fallen to being the third force within the Bundestag, the German Parliament. After knowing the results, Scholz has assumed defeat and congratulated Friedrich Merz and CDU for victory. “For me It is important to congratulate the CDU/CSU for the electoral result“He said.
Scholz, in addition, has made self -criticism with the result by qualifying it as “bad”: “It is a bitter result and I will assume my responsibility“But, despite the coup, the SPD leader has stressed the pacts to not reach agreements with the ultra -right:” We have to maintain what we have said. You cannot cooperate with the ultra -right. We maintain our word and hope that the rest of the parties will maintain this promise. “
For his part, the general secretary of the party, Matthias Miersch, has recognized that the mandate of governing now Friedrich Merz falls and regrets the bad result of his formation. “It is a historical defeat for the SPD. It’s a very bitter night,” Mersch lamented.
“That a party of the extreme right receives such a result, must be something that we should not accept, I will never accept something like that,” he added in his concern about the rise of Alice Weidel and AFD.
Nevertheless, The SPD is a key in negotiations to form government. If, as he said during the electoral debate, Merz does not negotiate with AFD as he has already reiterated on several occasions, there is no combination that allows CDU conservatives to govern without social democrats.
