DIW CEO Fratzscher - "Union and SPD responsible for the AfD's rise"

The president of the German Institute for Economic Research, Fratzscher, blames CDU, CSU and SPD for rising AfD survey values. The current coalition talks showed that union and social democrats lack "the courage and a clear compass", the economist told the "Handelsblatt".

The aspiring black-red coalition is the last patron of the democratic centre, say the participants unisono. True. Why for God's sake do they not act according to it?
