After the state election: Demonstrative unity: Merz with the SPD-Seeheimers
The day after the election shock, the Chancellor and Vice Chancellor are standing on stage together. They are trying to speak with one voice.
The leaders of Germany's Union and SPD parties, Friedrich Merz and Lars Klingbeil, showed unity at the SPD-Seeheimer's garden party after the historic state election in Saxony-Anhalt. Merz emphasized the need for joint success, while Klingbeil warned against right-wing extremists putting pressure on the coalition. The SPD had previously called for debating the government's reform plans, but Merz stated that the reform course would continue.
Klingbeil stressed that reforms must improve people's lives and that the coalition must find solutions through compromise.
