Ahead of Crucial Coalition Talks, Merkel's and Schulz's Ratings Hit Rock Bottom
Many believe that it is time for a management reshuffle within Germany's major political parties.
Angela Merkel's speech given to reporters by the governmental press service reads that the chancellor plans to form the stable government as soon as possible in 2018.
Germany's Chancellor has abandoned hopes of creating a so-called 'Jamaica Coalition' with the Greens and center-right Free Democrats; instead she will turn to the tested option of establishing a coalition with the Social Democrats, despite initial misgivings among her fellow Christian Democrats and Bavarian CSU allies.
