Snap Election in Germany?

German coalition talks in tatters as FDP walked away from negotiations

Angela Merkel who barely got 26% of the vote in the recent German elections was desperately trying to form a coalition with FDP and the Greens. Immigration and Energy Policies were her undoing. With the Social Democracts in no mood to be members of any coalition, Germany would be heading for yet another Federal Election.

Immigration is a contentious issue in Germany linked to National Security and Public Security and Angela Merkel has made a gigantic mess that led to Alternative für Deutschland entering the Bundestag with 90 seats.

But in reality, the Greens are the ones to blame by calling for a reduction in coal-generated power that could lead to job losses in the energy and manufacturing sector and by campaigning to keep the immigration floodgates open.

Will I receive another letter from Peter Tauber? Most probably not. The German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier could soon have to dissolve the current parliament to have new elections.

During the coalition talks the CDU and the CSU talked about immigration restrictions. I hope Austria, Poland, Hungary and Czech Republic take note of this and especially when EU under Angela Merkel's command took them to court trying to force them to accept more immigrants.
