BERLIN - Sharp critics of the coalition with Chancellor Angela Merkel’s conservatives won a vote for the leadership of Germany’s Social Democrats on Saturday, raising big questions over the future of the government.
However, the prospect of a snap election or minority government has increased as Merkel’s conservatives may refuse to cooperate even though they would like to stay in power. The leftist duo beat Finance Minister Olaf Scholz and Klara Geywitz, who said they would support their rivals after winning just 45.33% of the votes.
Walter-Borjans, who gained a reputation as ‘Robin Hood’ for cracking down on tax evaders with Swiss bank accounts, stressed that the SPD would not ditch the coalition immediately. The general secretary of Merkel’s Christian Democrats said his party wanted to work with the new SPD leaders and that the parties already had a common basis to work on.[S8N2860B9]
