They are the two favorites in the race to succeed Chancellor Angela Merkel after 16 years in power. Despite belonging to opposite political formations, both are presented as continuists of the legacy of the German leader. Their parties have shared the latest coalition government and both have worked with Merkel. The correspondent of EL PAÍS in Berlin, Elena G.
