Exactly one month before the vote on September 26, polls suggest none of the main would-be successors to Germany's long-standing leader enjoys strong public appeal.
The election is too close to call with both top parties — Merkel's centre-right Union bloc and centre-left Social Democrats — hoping to strike a power-sharing deal with the Greens and Free Democrats.
Euronews correspondent from the German desk Lena Roche explains how the week has folded for the candidates as well as the German voters.
If polls are correct, Chancellor Angela Merkel's ruling centre-right bloc is heading for a historic defeat in the county's federal election on September 26
The "Franco-German couple" is taking on a new political role. Nicolas Sarkozy and Angela Merkel, as two conservative leaders, are joining hands not only to salvage the euro but also to boost Sarkozy's re-election bid. Is the German strategy a good one for Nicolas Sarkozy? And is Angela Merkel taking too many risks, given that Socialist François Hollande might end up being president instead?
