Merkel's re election strengthens her hand in Eurozone

Issued on:

German Chancellor Angela Merkel scored a convincing victory in yesterday's parliamentary elections - giving her a third term in office. However, Merkel's conservative Christian Democrats did not win an absolute majority and analysts say that - for a coalition partner - she is likely to turn to the rival Social Democrats - with whom she ruled between 2005 and 2009. RFI spoke to - Enrique Uter-wedde, Deputy Director of the Franco-German institute in Luwigsburg and asked him how a coalition with the centre-left Social Democrats might change the way Angela Merkel handles the Eurozone crisis.
