German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Christian Democratic Union (CDU) candidate for chancellor Armin Laschet warned of instability in Germany after the federal elections if they were left out of a coalition.
“And this future government, I think we all agree, should ensure prosperity, security and peace. And that is what we are standing here for, because we in the Christian Democratic Union are making you an offer,” said Merkel, who also called for the election of Laschet, referring to his clearly pro-European stance.
She applauded strongly when Laschet again warned against a left-wing alliance of Social Democrats (SPD), Greens and Left.
