Description

Social Democrat (SPD) chancellor candidate Olaf Scholz said voters have spoken 'clearly' by strengthening three parties - the SPD, the Free Democratic Party (FDP) and the Greens at a post-election press conference Monday morning in Berlin.

The current vice-chancellor and finance minister indicated the SPD will try to build a coalition between these three parties, with Christian Democrats (CDU) in opposition.

Scholz said, "the CDU and CSU did not only significantly lose votes, rather they also recieved the message from the citizens they should no longer be in the government they should go into the opposition."

"Our task now is to do what the citizens have asked for not to place our own sensitivities in the foreground rather to lead a good government that brings the soft points of the next 20 years into focus," Scholz added.

Scholz's call for a so called 'traffic light coalition' could still be hindered by the CDU's ability to form a coalition with the German Greens and market-liberal FDP.
