BERLIN—A three-way German government led by the Social Democrats (SPD) should be ready to take office by the end of the year, the co-leader of the center-left party said in a newspaper interview published on Saturday.
Norbert Walter-Borjans said he was confident his party, which won Sunday’s national election by a narrow margin that left it seeking partners, could move swiftly to agree a coalition with the Greens and the business-friendly Free Democrats (FDP).
