Schroeder, Merkel delay resolving chancellor feud

German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder and conservative leader Angela Merkel delayed resolving a bitter row over who should lead Germany after Sunday talks to lay the basis for a coalition government of their rival parties.

Schroeder, Merkel and their chief allies, respectively Social Democrat (SPD) chairman Franz Muentefering and Christian Social Union (CSU) leader Edmund Stoiber, ended 3-1/2 hour discussions shortly before midnight without a word.

The government, the SPD and Merkel's Christian Democrats (CDU) declined to comment.

Monday now appears to be the day when Germany's two biggest parties will settle the chancellorship issue, opening the door to detailed talks about forming a "grand coalition" of the two.

A meeting of the four party heavyweights is planned for Monday at 11 a.m. (0900 GMT). They also plan consultative sessions with senior party members before and afterwards.

Analysts predict they will eventually strike a deal vaulting Merkel into the chancellery and giving the SPD key ministerial posts.

Wolfgang Schaeuble, deputy parliamentary leader of the conservatives, told reporters on Sunday that the conservatives would walk away from the table if Schroeder did not give way.

"I think Schroeder has understood that he will not remain federal chancellor," Schaeuble said.

Three weeks after an election which gave neither Merkel's Christian Democrats (CDU) nor Schroeder's SPD enough votes to rule with their allies, coalition talks might then finally start. They are likely to drag into November.

POLITICAL LIMBO

The conservatives won four more parliamentary seats than the SPD in last month's election but Schroeder has refused to step aside, plunging Germany into political uncertainty that economists say could further damage its ailing economy.

Germany's gross domestic product ( GDP) is expected to grow a mere one percent this year, the weakest in the 25-nation European Union. Unemployment hit a post-war high of more than 5.2 million people in February.

Financial markets have been watching the talks closely to see how far Merkel, seen as a keen advocate of structural change, will have to water down her reform agenda to appease the SPD and secure the chancellorship.

If Merkel makes too many concessions it could delay or scupper some of the changes Germany urgently needs to boost its growth rate, financial analysts say.

The two sides have already sketched out areas where they should be able to work together, including cutting Germany's ballooning budget deficit and reforming the tangle of state and federal powers that has crippled decision-making in the past.

SHARED CABINET POSTS

German media, citing CDU sources, said on Saturday that Merkel wants a deal under which she would be chancellor, with her party sharing half the posts in a 16-member cabinet with the SPD.

SPD and CDU spokesmen both declined to comment and noted that Merkel, Stoiber, Schroeder and Muentefering had agreed not to reveal details of the talks before they end.

Bild am Sonntag newspaper reported on Sunday, without citing any sources, that Schroeder could become foreign minister and vice-chancellor in a Merkel-led cabinet.
