Gerhard Schroeder Table Quotations

I feel myself confirmed in ensuring on behalf of our country that there is in the next four years a stable government under my leadership.

This is not about my prerogatives and absolutely not about me as a person, ... It is about my party's prerogative for political leadership and only the party leaders can decide on that. I will accept any decision. I do not want to stand in the way of a development that allows the continuation of the (economic) reforms I initiated and the formation of a stable government in Germany.

I am very sorry about this, ... But it can not be allowed to have any consequences, any negative consequences on the building of a stable government.

I will not stand in the way of anything that would lead to a continuation of the reform processes that I started, and a stable government in Germany,

It's about exploratory talks ? a phase in which we must talk to one another about how one will bring about a stable government, which we need at this time, ... Any form of precondition would, as I see it, be inappropriate.

I regard myself as confirmed in office by our country and intend that there will be stable government under my leadership,

I feel I have a mandate to ensure that in the next four years there will be a stable government in our country under my leadership, ... There will be no coalition under her leadership with my Social Democrats.
