Politicians from The Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) voted for a coalition agreement with the Christian Democratic and Christian Social Union (CDU/CSU) bloc.
Thus, a "grand coalition" will be formed in Germany, which opens up the opportunity for CDU leader Friedrich Merz to take office as Chancellor of Germany and to swear in the ministers of his cabinet.
The signing of the coalition agreement is scheduled for next Monday, May 5. Merz's election to the post of chancellor was to take place the next day.
