According to Green Bundestag group chief Anton Hofreiter, narrow result of SPD-Sonderparteitags in Bonn shows that exploratory result "back and forward" is not rich. The base wants more than one more so, more than half-hearted social policy. As Ambitionslos as before, SPD and Union should not go on, criticized Hofreiter. The second Green Group chairman, Katrin Göring-Eckardt, tweeted: "There was little to be felt about awakening, of passion, of lust for governance. Too bad. " The outgoing Green federal President Simone Peter said, "This is going to be hard for party – and members at ballot."

The AfD described decision of SPD delegates as "undignified" and "implausible". The Social Democrats had now decided to continue ir "meteorite blind" into insignificance, said party leader Jörg Meun. The goal of AfD to become second strongest force in Confederation was thus furr furr. The fact that AfD group will be opposition leader in Bundestag by a government involvement of SPD is also "beautiful and offers opportunities".

FDP predicts "Groko on Demand"

FDP chief Christian Lindner said: "If entire leadership promotes government entry, but only a narrow majority of party's day follows, this is a mortgage." According to "Method Merkel", contradictions between coalition partners are now presumably filled with even more tax money. " The union and SPD would try to appease people in present with distribution policy, Lindner criticized. "We have been fighting this kind of policy in Jamaica talks."

FDP Bundestag group vice-president Michael Theurer prophesied: "The union will continue to make some lazy compromise, so that Mrs Merkel will once again be elected chancellor." The new coalition was already divided and failed: "The short result shows that re is a Groko on call."

"Atomization of Social Democracy"

The left called SPD's decision a historical mistake. "It threatens final atomization of German social democracy," said party leader Katja Tipping. Co-chairman Bernd Riexinger said: "The SPD commits Harakiri." Commissions, working groups and mid-term balance sheets could not hide fact that SPD had enforced those who wanted to remain in power at all costs. "If you want to fight social justice, climate protection and peace in next four years, you have to enforce this against Groko."

The deputy CDU federal president Julia Klöckner welcomed decision: "Congratulations on decision and willingness to put yourself in service of country," she wrote on Twitter. The CSU politician Joachim Herrmann made it clear that exploratory result was not to be dispatched in his opinion. The main points should no longer be questioned, demanded also Hessian minister-President Volker Bouffier (CDU).

Strobl doesn't want "Hasenfüße"

The Chairman of Middle-level union, Hans Michelbach (CSU), demanded a "sign of reliability" from Social Democrats: SPD once again offered a picture of discord. CDU deputy Strobl called on SPD to conduct coalition talks "non-hare-footed". It should not be a measure of wher coalition agreement is for SPD members.

The German economy is now hoping for early formation of a stable government. "I welcome decision of SPD to enter into coalition negotiations with Union now. We need a government capable of acting, "said employer President Ingo Kramer. His colleague from German Chamber of Industry and Commerce, Eric Schweitzer, restrained: "From point of view of economy, vote on route is a mixed signal." The negotiations threatened to be burdened by SPD's demands.
