Difficult formation of a government

Following the highly regarded federal elections in Germany, the coalition negotiations are now taking place, as no party has achieved an absolute majority to govern alone. A coalition of CDU/CSU and the SPD is probably the most likely. Together, the parties will probably also form a government. There are long and tough negotiations on the way there, and it is not yet clear whether there will really be an agreement.
