'More Europe? Maybe!' Sombre Merkel scales back on Macron partnership after election woes
SWEEPING reforms to the European Union promised by French leader Emmanuel Macron may have to be put on hold after Angela Merkel lost ground in Germany’s election on Sunday. “The union (her conservatives) will support what makes sense. “My view is that we can use more Europe, but this has to lead to more competitiveness, more jobs and more clout for the European Union.”Sunday’s election also saw a surge in support for the right wing Eurosceptic Alternative for Germany (AfD).With just over 12 per cent of the national vote, it is now the third biggest party in the Bundestag.The AfD is opposed to further European integration and has been critical of bailouts for other EU countries. The German Chancellor was re-elected for a record fourth term over the weekend but her Christian Democratic Union (CDU/CSU) party saw its support slide. As a result, the CDU/CSU is expected to go in to coalition with the left wing Free Democrats (FDP) and the Greens.But the FDP has been critical of Macron’s vision for Europe and its leader said today he would not agree to any coalition unless Merkel promised a change in direction on Europe.



The French President has regularly spoken of his desire for a more integrated Europe and will use a major speech tomorrow to unveil his grand vision for the bloc.He wants the new eurozone budget to be used to bail out struggling EU economies. . 00FastNews. Please Subscribe!
