A divided Bundestag, a danger for Europe
The results of the German elections were in part anticipated, with Angela Merkel's victory, and in part a novelty, with the heavy defeat of the Socialist Party. Results which make it difficult for the Chancellor to create a truly cohesive coalition, with six parties represented for the first time, and which is internally divided over the theme of European integration. The first test will be the response that Merkel will give to the proposals on European integration that Macron should submit tomorrow, September 26. Moreover, as explains in this video Carlo Altomonte, following the sentence of the German Constitutional Court, all decisions taken by the government under the European Stability Mechanism have to be endorsed by the Bundestag and will therefore be the result of a very heated and divisive debate
