Angela Merkel vows to work with SPD
(VOVWORLD) - Chancellor Angela Merkel on Sunday promised to work with the Social Democrats for “the good of Germany", after the centre-left party voted to join her new coalition.
Merkel used her CDU party's Twitter account to congratulate the SPD for its "clear result", saying that she is looking forward to "further cooperation”. 66% of SPD members voted in favor of the coalition, which removed the last hurdle blocking Merkel's fourth term. With the SPD's decision to block a new partnership, Merkel is expected to launch her fourth government by mid-March.
