Recall, on Wednesday the SPD officially announced the successful completion of coalition negotiations with the CDU / CSU bloc led by Angela Merkel. The coalition could not form almost six months.

As part of the agreement to create a coalition, the SPD received under its leadership the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Labor, the CDU - the Ministry of Economy and the Ministry of Defense of Germany.

As reported URA-Inform, Martin Schultz refused to take the post of Foreign Minister in the government of Merkel.

He explained the reason for this act by the fact that the inner-party discussions around his candidacy are a threat to the successful adoption of a coalition agreement at the party congress of the SPD.
