YouTube Description
as posted by the channel(Sept. 27) Olaf Scholz of the center-left Social Democrats defeated Chancellor Angela Merkel’s conservatives in an extremely tight German election, setting in motion what could be months of complex coalition talks to decide who will lead Europe’s biggest economy.
Scholz’s SPD, the front-runner over the final weeks of the campaign, took 25.7% of the vote Sunday, while the Christian Democratic-led bloc under Armin Laschet 24.1%, according to provisional results. Both men said they aim to head the country’s next government and all the parties -- including likely coalition kingmakers the Greens and the pro-business Free Democrats -- will hold separate meetings Monday in Berlin to discuss the next steps.
To sustained cheers and applause from supporters at party headquarters Monday, Scholz said that voters had sent a clear signal that they want him as chancellor, and that Laschet and his CDU/CSU bloc should go into opposition.
