  • Germany's conservatives and Social Democrats (SPD) agreed on Wednesday to go into the next round of negotiations on forming a coalition government despite deep differences remaining on areas from immigration to consumer protection and criminal justice.

The article from MSN discusses the ongoing efforts to form a new government in Germany following the recent elections, where the Social Democrats (SPD), the Greens, and the Free Democrats (FDP) are attempting to negotiate a coalition. Despite making progress on several policy areas, significant differences remain, particularly on the issue of migration. The SPD and Greens advocate for more liberal migration policies, while the FDP prefers stricter controls.

The parties are under pressure to resolve these disputes quickly to address urgent national and international challenges, including the ongoing effects of the global health crisis and climate change.
