German Chancellor Angela Merkel (R)
and opposition Social Democratic Party (SPD) leader Sigmar Gabriel (L) present their joint candidate for the post of president, former East German rights activist Joachim Gauck, at the Chancellery in Berlin February 19, 2012. Merkel bowed to pressure on Sunday and agreed to back popular opposition candidate Gauck to become president, averting a political fight that might have distracted her government from solving the euro zone crisis.
