Wobbly German coalition will sap EU reform energy LiamWardProud
Germany’s Social Democratic Party on Nov. 30 elected Saskia Esken and Norbert Walter-Borjans as its new leaders. The duo wants to renegotiate the SPD’s coalition agreement with Chancellor Angela Merkel’s Christian Democrats, pushing for a new higher minimum wage and investment in infrastructure.
Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, chairwoman of Merkel's Christian Democrats and her would-be successor, said on Dec. 2 that the coalition deal that formed the basis of the ruling alliance was not up for negotiation. “So the new SPD leadership must decide whether they want to stay in this coalition or not,” Kramp-Karrenbauer told broadcaster ZDF.
