Question: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Mrs Merkel ? If possible  Germanyâs establishmentâincluding  Mrs Merkel  and Mr Steinmeierâwill seek to avoid new elections. These could most benefit the far-right Alternative for Germany and would not necessarily rupture the deadlock  current polls putting the main parties very close to the results they obtained at the September election. In  her  comments last night  Mrs Merkel  emphasised that  her  party would âtake responsibility for this country  even in difficult timesâ.  She  is determined  in other words  to make the best of the hand the German people dealt  her  in September. Precisely how  she  plans to proceed should become clearer today.
