BERLIN - Germany’s Social Democrats voted on Friday to give their coalition with Chancellor Angela Merkel a chance of survival, setting out relatively modest demands as their price for staying in government with the conservatives.
In a show of hands, a large majority of delegates voted for conditions they will set out to Merkel’s party to stay in government, including tougher climate protection measures, a rise in the minimum wage and investment in infrastructure. “I was, and am, skeptical about the future of this grand coalition. But with this resolution, we give the coalition a realistic chance of continuing - no more, no less,” Esken said.
“If we leave behind a lower debt level but the environment is poisoned, infrastructure is dilapidated and Germany has gone backwards technologically, it would be a far worse debt to hand on to the next generation,” Walter-Borjans said.
