Angela Merkel’s conservatives and Martin Schulz’s Social
Democrats want to wrap up their first inner-circle talks on forming
Germany’s next coalition government by January 12, in what will be the
chancellor’s last chance to form a stable government.
Top party officials from Merkel’s CDU, its Bavarian sister party the CSU, and Schulz’s SPD met Wednesday to discuss the timeline of the talks. They agreed exploratory talks would begin on January 7, with negotiators hoping to present the results to their party faithful five days later. Schulz
had tweeted Tuesday that he did not expect the talks to take off until after a CSU party summit on January 6.
“It was a good conversation in an atmosphere based on trust,” the three parties said in a joint statement about the meeting.
