Political Parties React To Lower Saxony Elections

BERLIN, GERMANY - JANUARY 21: Stephan Weil, candidate in Lower Saxony for the German Social Democrats (SPD), holds a buquet of flowers during a press conference the day after the SPD and German Greens party emerged with a hairline victory in Lower Saxony on January 21, 2013 in Berlin, Germany. The win has given the SPD a much needed boost following declining popularity figures for its chancellor candidate Peer Steinbrueck. Germany faces national elections later this year.
