The Spiegel published a story analyzing what they call the new Germany. Angela Merkel was able to get re-elected but her party, the Christian Democrats, has been weakened. In the European-style elections, parties can form coalitions to be able to pass legislation, since there are more than two parties.
Additionally, her position within her own party has also worsened and there is the possibility of the party looking for a new leader. Int eh words of the Spiegel:
"Angela Merkel will be waging a battle on two fronts: in a coalition where she will be fighting for influence with the FDP (Free Democratic Party) as junior coalition partner, and within her own party."
The article analyzes how the rest of the parties scored and what it means for the future of those parties in the battle for power in Germany
