From Frank Benedict
Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg has finally taken the consequences and is an unworthy rearguard action, as required here resigned. The "Baron Lies" probably has most recently seen that in the face of increasingly overwhelming evidence of the plagiarism scandal in his position was no longer tenable. Too many places where he clearly plagiarized, appeared in the Union began to erode his support, and finally even turned his doctor father away from him. Time to say guttbye!
Although not about the Minister of Kunduz or Gorch Fock stumbled affair, but a "cheating" as it called itself part of the press euphemistically, but this does not matter - the "Shooting Star" of the German political landscape, the "shining light", now for a while for intermediate storage in the cooling ponds have to Bavaria. The remanufacturing seems indeed requested by parts of the Union, but the case Kasper should have shown that even politicians with fraud not come so easy. Moreover, even should the "Black Knights" have risen slowly that he has since committed not just a minor offense. The press is Interestingly, two minds - while Heribert Prantl in SZ a comeback possible keeps Fischer / Gebauer see the Spon rather the possibility that could result in Guttenberg, as once withdraw Friedrich Merz, the very from politics . His electoral mandate he has in any case already made. How come it may - it is certain that the outgoing defense minister, who so recently was only a "self defense", will play in this term no longer in federal politics.
What remains is the political Daily business, because if now a little more likely to be fought over the succession to Guttenberg and haggling is, it goes: "The show must go on!" Angela Merkel and her government team for this year from six state elections (three of them alone this month) and increasing human and political problems. Where Prantl still sees a chance for a breath of Union is emerging on rather that of "Angela, the Stoic" soon "Angela, who Gehetzte" might be. The number of problems are legion and one of them is Afghanistan. Meanwhile, German troops are killed in the tenth year in the Hindu Kush, and be killed, and no end in sight. Moreover, it is indeed just the minister got lost, whose departure leaves contrary to his statement anything but a member appointed house. The scandals "Field Post and Gorch Fock " awaiting further clarification of, the Bundeswehr will have as part of its reform is obviously a problem and their voluntary conversion requires urgent intervention arms of a test for constitutionality.
Except in the defense department as well as lots of other challenger revisions to wait on black and yellow and the Uckermark leader: although it has, as expected much the same, suitable with the inventors of Hartz IV on a rotten compromise, but the fundamental injustice that is used by millions of ALG II recipients perceived as such and is manifested in a growing flood of complaints, this does not responds and the necessary debate on a BGE or "basic income" (Union model) is continued. In health reform, the Government expects no skating exhibition: The doctors are already bad temper and the patients are there, with another one-sided burden of Philipp Rösler additional contributions, the envisaged capitation, increasingly, be. Ultimately, should have the displeasure of the citizens, the majority were for exit and are added to extend the maturities of existing nuclear power plants. Already 2010 has been found that this subject again can move masses to the streets and in 2011 it could still be more people who oppose the rotten deal with the nuclear industry voice.
as if it were not enough problems with the property, lists the coalition an increasingly thinning staffing: If the Union were leading figures "weggebissen" some time already and went of his own accord (eg, Friedrich Merz, Roland Koch) or were more or less forced her hat, as now, to Guttenberg, and before him Franz Josef Jung and Horst Köhler. For the FDP, it looks even gloomier: Except for a rather deranged Chairman Westerwelle (Insider mockery: "Gesterwelle"), who seemed ready before the Causa Guttenberg already to step down, she only has a "self" Dirk Niebel, an "economic" minister Brüderle that is attached to the reputation of the Trinkfreudigkeit, and to offer the "young pup" Rösler. So that they can truly "make no state." If Westerwelle but stumble over his own legs, which, given its equally mindless as absurd words of the "late Roman decadence" is not just seems unlikely had not only the FDP is a problem.
It is not even "half" of this coalition, but coming as it does so quite ruffled. Never before had a government to record the war such a bloodletting, looking out ever so bad. Had to Guttenberg, Merkel probably alike as feared, survived to autumn, a cabinet reshuffle, one (and probably the only) opportunity for the chancellor it was for saving the coalition over time. As it entered the baron back in the political reserve and - possibly - the following other ministerial fall would mean a premature end to the government.
"Reserve has Ruh," Angela Merkel not.
