Some German Social Democrats question rejection of grand coalition - Bild
Reuters reports a story published by the Bild newspaper, a German tabloid, citing that a group of Social Democrat (SPD) deputies is questioning their party’s rejection of a renewed ‘grand coalition’ with Chancellor Angela Merkel’s Conservatives to resolve Germany’s worst political crisis of recent times.
Bild reported the consensus within the party appears to be crumbling with roughly a fifth of 153 SPD lawmakers expressing doubts about the decision at a meeting of the parliamentary group.
