  "account": "Joachim Gauck appealed for unity in the political center at a CDU crisis meeting at the Konrad-Adenauer-Haus on Sunday evening. The next day, the coalition showed signs of complete breakdown following the resignation of Social Minister Bärbel Bas. SPD leader Lars Klingbeil and Manuela Schwesig condemned the Union's criticism of Bas as \"unanständig\" and \"unmenschlich\" respectively. The criticism came after it emerged that the Union had been privately criticizing Bas, whose stepdaughter had recently died. The coalition's ability to move forward in a toxic climate is now in question.",
