The leader of German Chancellor Angela Merkel's party says she would have liked a clear signal from its junior governing partner that it intends to stay in Merkel's coalition, and is deeply skeptical about its calls for new concessions.
German Defense Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer speaks during a joint press conference, in Kabul, Afghanistan, Tuesday, Dec. 3, 2019. Kramp-Karrenbauer asked for the announcement of the Afghanistan 2019 presidential election results in her trip to Kabul.
A party convention on Friday gave them a mandate to hold talks with Merkel’s center-right Union bloc aimed at raising the national minimum wage, increasing public investment and raising the price of carbon dioxide in a recently agreed climate package. Asked what her party’s red lines are, she replied that she doesn’t believe in “so-called ‘red lines,’ but I won’t accept conditions along the lines of ‘if this doesn’t happen, then we’re going.’”Kramp-Karrenbauer said that “we can’t start from scratch again” on the climate package, details of which are already due to be haggled over after parliament’s upper house, which represents state governments, halted parts of it.
