Chancellor Angela Merkel was left scrambling to drag Germany out of a crisis Monday after high-stakes talks to form a new government collapsed, potentially forcing Europe's top economy into snap elections.


Germany now faces weeks, if not months, of paralysis with a lame-duck government that is unlikely to take bold policy action at home or on the European stage.


With no other viable coalition in sight, Germany may be forced to hold new elections that risk being as inconclusive as September's polls.

Merkel let in more than 1 million asylum seekers since 2015 Botas Mujer UGG Bailey Button Sheepskin Triplet 1873 Grises España , sparking a backlash that allowed the far-right AfD party to win its first seats in parliament.
