Haggling on new German government enters critical phase

Parties will decide whether they have common ground

16 November, 11:41
(ANSA) - BERLIN - Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservatives and their prospective partners in a new German government are wrapping up talks aimed at determining whether to open formal coalition negotiations.

After talks, the parties aim to decide Thursday or early Friday whether they have common ground to move to the next phase. The parties have struggled to bridge differences on immigration and climate change-related issues. A decision to open coalition talks would require approval by a Greens congress. Failure could lead to new elections. (ANSA).
