'During the election campaign we promised to improve the situation of many young people. Now nothing is going to happen under a grand coalition government.'
'We wanted more from the top 5 percent to encourage young people and to close the gap between rich and poor.'
Johanna Ueckermann, 26-year-old
leader of the youth wing of the
German Social Democratic Party,

between the SPD and the conservative
Christian Democratic Union (CDU)
