Governo alemão à beira de cair?

 SPD alemão elege dois novos líderes que parecem querer acabar com a coligação.

Germany's SPD elects Walter-Borjans and Esken as new leaders (DW):

Party members elected Norbert Walter-Borjans and Saskia Esken to head Germany's center-left Social Democrats (SPD) on Saturday.

Some 425,630 members of the center-left party were eligible to take part in the vote. The election result still needs to be confirmed at a party conference slated to run from December 6 – 8.

Should the two be confirmed as party leaders, their first order of business will be deciding whether to stay in a coalition government with Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservative Christian Democrats(...).

Opposition to remaining in the coalition came from the ultimately victorious opposition candidates Norbert Walter-Borjans, a former state finance minister, and SPD lawmaker Saskia Esken. The two said they would be willing to leave the coalition unless Merkel's conservatives renegotiated their coalition agreement — something the CDU has rejected.
