Three parties in Germany have struck a deal to form a coalition government that will see Social Democrat Olaf Scholz replace conservative Angela Merkel as chancellor.
However, it will still take some time for a handover of power. Below is an overview of what happens next:The Social Democrats , ecologist Greens and pro-business Free Democrats unveiled a vision of how to push through a green transition in Europe’s biggest economy, speed up digitalisation and bring in some liberal social policies.
The leadership teams presented the 177-page document on Wednesday after the agreement was hammered out by working groups in the last few weeks.All three parties have to ratify the deal. This is essentially a formality, as it is highly unlikely that members and delegates will reject it.The FDP plans to vote on it on December 5.
The Greens are consulting their 125,000 members on the deal in a digital or postal voting process that will take 10 days.Greens co-leader Robert Habeck will be vice-chancellor and lead a beefed-up economy ministry with responsibility for climate policyRemaining ministers are still to be named but the coalition deal states that the SPD will control a further seven cabinet posts, the Greens four more and the FDP a further three.
This would mean Merkel falling just short of the record number of days in office held by Helmut Kohl of 5,870 days.
