German Chancellor Angela Merkel (2nd L) is given a bouquet of flowers by the secretary general of her conservative Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party Peter Tauber (L) as two of five vice party chairmen Thomas Strobl (2nd R) and Julia Kloeckner (R) applaud at the start of a meeting with their party's leadership in Berlin on September 25, 2016, one day after general elections. Merkel woke up to a fourth term but now faces the double headache of an emboldened hard-right opposition party and thorny coalition talks ahead. / AFP PHOTO / Odd ANDERSEN
