BERLIN (Reuters) - Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Monday her party's election defeat in the prosperous state of Baden-Wuerttemberg after 58 straight years of rule was painful and would take a long time to overcome.
"We lost our majority there and that's painful," Merkel told a news conference.
"It's a deep wound in the history of Baden-Wuerttemberg and also in the history of the CDU. The pain from this loss won't go away in just one day. We'll have to work for a long time to overcome the pain from this defeat."
