President Gauck Dismisses Outgoing Government

BERLIN, GERMANY - OCTOBER 22: German President Joachim Gauck (R) prepares to give outgoing German Chancellor Angela Merkel, as well as outgoing German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle (2nd from L) and outgoing Vice Chancellor and Economy Minister Philipp Roesler (3rd from L), who are both members of the German Free Democrats (FDP), and Interior Minister Hans-Peter Friedrich their dismissal certificates at a ceremony for the outgoing German government at Bellevue Palace on October 22, 2013 in Berlin, Germany. The ministers will stay on in their functions until a new government is formed, which will most likely be a coalition between the German Christian Democrats (CDU) and the German Social Democrats (SPD) with Merkel as chancellor. For the FDP members the ceremony today is especially poignant, as the party failed in recent German elections to receive the 5% minimum of votes necessary to retain its seats in the Bundestag, which means the party no longer has political say on the federal level.
