BERLIN, Jan. 12-- German Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservatives and the Social Democrats (SPD) on Friday achieved a breakthrough in their exploratory talks aimed at forming a new coalition government, local media reported. The progress will probably put an end to months of political uncertainty in Germany after the Sept. 24 elections, when no new government was formed. After overnight talks, the three parties, Merkel's Christian Democratic Union (CDU), its sister party the Christian Social Union (CSU), and the SPD will present the 28-page blueprint to party members, Focus Online reported. |
