German
coalition deal reportedly agreed, with press conference this afternoon
Leaders
of the German conservative and socialist parties have reportedly agreed on a
coalition deal to form the next government, German media are reporting.
The
German press agency dpa said that the leaders of the two parties will take part
in a joint press conference 3pm German time (2pm UK) to present the result of
their talks.
But the
deal would still have to be approved by a vote of the SPD’s 357,000 members,
whic is expected to take at least ten days, meaning CDU leader Friedrich Merz
is unlikely to be formally confirmed as the next German chancellor before May.
Media
speculations suggest the CDU/CSU will take the interior and foreign ministries,
taking on the critical job of resolving the country’s migration crisis and
finding Germany’s place in the world despite global uncertainty surrounding the
new US administration.
Early
reports suggest that the SPD, which led the outgoing government of Olaf Scholz,
will keep the finance and defence portfolios, leaving the popular defence
minister Boris Pistorius in the next cabinet.
This
development is very timely as the far-right Alternative für Deutschland, has
topped a federal voting intention poll for the first time in history (10:31),
exploiting the political limbo amid global uncertainty (10:39).
