“Olaf Scholz has the best chances to become chancellor. That's crystal clear. It is important to respect the result. Part of that is that I once again congratulate Olaf Scholz.”

“The mandate is very unclear. It is neither a mandate for the Social Democrats to go on with social democratic policymaking, the Green Party to put the focus exclusively on climate politics, nor the FDP to make sure that social justice policy and climate policy stays within the framework of a liberal market economy. The only thing which is clear is that most people wanted Olaf Scholz become the next chancellor.”

“About 75% of Germans didn't vote for the next chancellor's party. So it might be advisable ... that the Greens and Free Democrats first speak to each other to structure everything that follows.”

“We cannot be satisfied with the results of the election. We will do everything possible to build a conservative-led government because Germans now need a future coalition that modernises our country. It will probably be the first time that we will have a government with three partners.”

“Merkel's China policy is built on the core of safeguarding Germany's interests, especially in the economic and trade field. It cannot simply be abandoned and no leader dares to pay such a price.”

“The issue of succession became perhaps the most important campaign issue. Voters are more worried or more interested in who would be most competent, and who would be best able to manage Germany and Germany's future. So personalities have become a major focus in this campaign.”

“Many wealthy people, especially entrepreneurs, fear that there will be a lurch to the left in Germany - no matter how the elections turn out. Personally, I assume that considerable assets will continue to be moved to Switzerland.”

“Macron will try to usurp Merkel's position in Europe. The German position won't necessarily change, but whoever now comes to power will have to deal with a broader (domestic) coalition so they will find it slightly harder to lead on the international stage.”

“If the CDU / CSU remains in power, the situation will remain more or less the same. However, I am intrigued by the potential coming of the Greens to power, because their views are much more critical and demanding. If they lead foreign policy, there may be milder changes, but not essential ones.”
