Germany’s SPD, Greens and FDP to present coalition agreement

The three parties set to make up Germany’s next government are presenting their coalition agreement later on Wednesday, about eight weeks after the national elections.
The parties are the Social Democrats (SPD), Greens, and Free Democrats (FDP).
The document will be made public at a press conference announced by all three parties, taking place in Berlin at 3.00 p.m. (1400 GMT).
The Social Democrat finance minister and deputy chancellor, Olaf Scholz, is expected to succeed Angela Merkel as chancellor.
After over a decade and a half in power, Merkel’s conservative bloc is heading into opposition.
