German Social Democrat Peer Steinbrueck accused Chancellor Angela Merkel of failing to lead Europe’s largest economy in any firm direction as he began his closing arguments to voters three days before the election.

Joined by the SPD leadership, including party Chairman Sigmar Gabriel and parliamentary opposition leader Frank-Walter Steinmeier on Berlin’s Alexanderplatz yesterday, Steinbrueck urged voters to unseat Merkel’s government on Sept. 22.
