Bavaria election shakes Merkel's coalition, far-right rejoices
None
Chancellor Angela Merkel's Bavarian sister party said on Monday it would back political stability in Berlin after suffering big losses in a regional election which their far-right foes hailed as "an earthquake" that would rock the coalition government.
The conservative Christian Social Union (CSU) slumped to its worst election result in almost 70 years in Sunday's election in Bavaria and Merkel's other coalition partner, the centre-left Social Democrats (SPD) saw their support halve.
