After 100 days, Fredchich Mirz is mocking Germany as a “dead man walking”. It must resist John Camplener star-news.press/wp

R.100 days have passed for any world leader usually indicating the end of the honeymoon period. Ferdrich Mirz was unable to enjoy until one day of grace, starting from the moment that was supposed to be elected German advisor but was not. On May 6, Angela Merkel from the balcony of the visitors watched the voice of Bundestag and refused to agree to its new leader. For a few hours, this chaos was followed, until the second round of the vote witnessed the approval of its advisor, so the right -wing of the oath could extend.
It was a symbolic work of challenge, and because it was a secret poll, it was not clear how many public publications came from Christian Democrats in Mirz (CDU) or from their new coalition partners, social Democrats (SPD). But it has a shadow of the new administration since its inception: this is the government that no one wants – not the least of it is its heroes.
This is the rule of most of the media and the political class, the so -called Berlin bubble. Busty passes a day when Mirz does not make fun of a dead man walking. It tries to create a prevailing form of conservatism that is updated simultaneously – dealing with Germany’s inheritance embracing, bureaucracy, and rebuilding infrastructure – and more cultural conservative. He is simultaneously accused of giving up the left to the left and being in bed with the far right. It has been convicted of being punitive and customary for both immigrants. This shiny shield of negativity is the German equivalent to the degree of “broken Britain”.
Mirz’s difficulties do not arise from one source. They are partially emanating from the way it is photographed: conservative conservatives, slave skin and wealthy (a feature that is suspected in Germany). Some of this unfair, some are not. He treated himself much more than he was originally expected. No, he got a lot of credit for that.
The second problem is the structure. To avoid political domination, every government must be an alliance. Power should participate between the parties, but also between the federal center in Berlin and the 16 regions. During the first 75 years of the Federal Republic, the settlement was considered virtuous. It is now seen as a sign of weakness.
Which leads us to this day. Trump came to Medina, and political culture in Germany is infected with popular motives as it is everywhere else. The new media disrupts the lines between truth and imagination, the destruction of professions, and the leadership of the main politicians to act in new ways. Parliament has become more unbridled, and in a country that has long been synonymous with deliberative policy, deputies and ministers immediately take on social media with immediate provisions regarding urgent news.
The first battle of the excessive era of the new piece was played less than a month ago, just as Parliament was going to the holiday. The case was the proposed nomination of the Frauke Brosius-Jersdorf, a judge who holds more liberal views on abortion more than it is permitted under the restrictions of Germany. The demonization of the press and the political right, which prompted some of the deputies of the frightening CDU to disappear on an early holiday, to deny it the necessary majority. Senior government officials withdrew the vote at the last minute, instead of facing an embarrassing defeat. Its decision Pulling Last week, it led to great anger at SPD and self -search in the MERZ team. Some traditional deputies even seemed to destroy the fact that they were affected by pressure from the far right, and that the coalition had been undermined.
This custom scandal is part of a A wider strategy Through the alternative Für Deutschland (AFD) for division, weakening, and ultimately destroying CDU, thus became the largest party in the upcoming elections in 2029. Its members are open to their desire to make the Mirz alliance rule. For anything, Merz must agree with SPD. This leaves him vulnerable to the right shield that he is heading to “wake up the left”. This disturbs those on the right of CDU, some of whom urges MERZ to give up the so -called protection wall that prohibits cooperation with AFD. Any prime break with this rule would give the German oath the maximum potential path to power for the first time since the end of World War II.
Meanwhile, the AFD share of voting, according to reliable opinion polls in general, presidents, and presidents Unimaginable. The far -right party occupies about 24 %, resulting in elections that exceeded the grudging and actually worried in March, only two points less than CDU points.
The possibility that AFD becomes the largest party in Germany is a dark scenario, but it is not inevitable. Work workers may work for the government. The first is AFD to internal fighting and incompetence in general. The other is the personal durability of the Head of the Champions, Mirz, Deputy Advisor and Finance Minister, Lars Klingbeil.
There are two terms that the coalition uses in most of its contacts: Political center (Land of the middle) and able (I am able to continue with it). They do not put a pulse race, but this is deliberate. Mirz’s approach to Kerr Starmer’s approach to the threat of UK reform is not different: a soldier on voters and show them that daily grinding still matters and hopes to result from rewards.
Mirz ministers refer to a long list of planned procedures and legislations, which include huge investments in infrastructure and critical security (the Ministry of Defense is now called management “expansion), Tightening deportation and accelerating purchases. The scrap with their SPD partners is likely to be plans to reduce luxury, especially the minimum income guarantee, but it is expected that there will be a form of settlement in the fall. The two parties will fight strongly on the details, if only reassured their rules that adhere to their principles.
It will be chaotic and sometimes dramatic, but the coalition may work yet. Merz and Kellingbeil gets well well – contrary to the personal dispute that was a distinctive feature of OLAF Scholz. They know that their parties may be in a stagnation, but they also know that they will suffer more if this government fails to present it. There is nothing like Jeopardy to concentrate the mind, not only for 100 days, but over the next four years.
