Bundestag Meets For First Time Since Coalition Failure

BERLIN, GERMANY - NOVEMBER 21: German Chancellor and leader of the German Christian Democrats (CDU) Angela Merkel attends the first Bundestag session since the collapse of government coalition talks on November 21, 2017 in Berlin, Germany. Preliminary coalition talks, after over three weeks of arduous meetings, fell apart Sunday night, leaving Merkel confronted with two uncomfortable possibilities: attempt to run a minority government together with the German Greens Party or submit to new elections. Both would be a first at the federal level in post-World War II German history. (Photo by Sean Gallup/Getty Images)
