The

head of the Bavarian CSU Markus Soeder said

at a press conference commenting on the results of the Union.

Armin Laschet debunks

his claim to the chancellery.

The one formulated yesterday would have been an "offer" and not just a claim, he would have specified speaking to the board of the CDU, according to reports from Welt.

"Nobody can claim the government and that's not what I did yesterday," he explained according to the newspaper, which cites an inside source.

"We are ready for other coalitions if the traffic light does not work", added Laschet, referring to the possible coalition made up of SPD (reds), Liberals (yellow) and Greens.

Who is Scholz, the sober leader who resurrected the SPD - THE PROFILE

"The CDU and the CSU have not only lost many votes, but they have also received the message from the voters that they will no longer be able to stay in government, but will have to go to the opposition," said

Olaf Scholz in Berlin

, in a statement at the headquarters of the Spd after the win. "The voters have expressed their will very clearly: they have strengthened the SPD, the Greens and the Liberals. And these three must lead the new government". "We see here a very happy SPD! Two winners and a winner", said

Olaf Scholz

, alongside

Franziska Giffey

, who won the elections in Berlin and

will be the first mayor of the capital

, and alongside the outgoing minister president

Manuela Schwesig

, which triumphed in the Land of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

"A social-ecological-liberal coalition has solid presuppositions in history. And that's what we will have to do," 

said Scholz, after the meeting with the board.

Scholz recalled "the successful social-liberal coalition" that ruled the country from 1969 until 1982 and the season of government with the greens that everyone remembers.

"

Germany is always stable,

" said Olaf Scholz, aspiring SPD chancellor, commenting on the election results and expectations for the next coalition.

And this despite the current uncertainty about the future coalition, he explained.

"Nobody should try to dominate the European Union".

"There must be good collaboration between North and South, East and West.

The EU must grow together and we will ensure that Europe grows better together

", concluded Scholz, stressing that this is one of the hallmarks of his line. .

The farewell of Angela Merkel, the last vote as chancellor

"Yesterday we experienced a heavy defeat,"

Linke

's top candidate

Dieter Bartsch said

at a press conference in Berlin, commenting on the result (4.9%).

"The consequences will have to be drawn," he added.

Bartsch cited the "fragmented and split image" postponed by the party in recent years, a contributing factor to the outcome of the polls.

"We will be in opposition", he concluded.
