After four months of protracted negations between the coalition partners, German politics faces currently a major breakthrough. Three political parties – CDU, CSU and SPD – have signed on the 7th of February 2018 the coalition agreement. However, the Christian Democrats’ position after the negotiations is far frombeing complacent in terms of political success. Having wonthe 2017 parliamentaryelections, now it appears to be a Pyrrhic victory. Still a collapse of the coalition cannot be ruled out. Until early March 2018, members of the SPD are participatingin a postal referendum on the coalition with CDU/CSU. The results are expected to be announced on the 4th of March.The political position of SPD, which is currently recuperating after the electoral failure, makes the political future of Germany still uncertain.
