"This is a super result."
Mrs. Merkel became the only major European leader to
be re-elected twice since the financial crisis of 2008
European policy “will continue in the same spirit as
before,”
SPD: the second worst result in their history
The humiliating defeat of the Free Democrats

18. New Coalition!!


Despite Angela Merkel's landslide win, it could take
months for Germany to form a coalition. She's only
five seats short of a majority but the SPD, stung by
its last foray into government with the chancellor, will
extract a high price.
It's possible, but unlikely, that she may even have to
sacrifice Schäuble and hand the key post of finance
minister to the SPD.

The first ones who pay resque for their Banks HRE,
CommerBank…
Since 2005-2008 France and Germany invest on
Spain around 320.000 M €, most of them went to the
real estate company.
CrisisAusterity policy in Europe
ECBBANKSRESQUED COUNTRIES
German Bond is the safest one inEurope
Also has power of vote in IMF

23. The risk of more sovereign and associated debt
restructurings is high and unlikely to abate over the
forecast period. If the euro zone were to break up,
German banks would suffer heavy losses from their
foreign lending operations. The state would be obliged
to provide widespread recapitalisation.
