The question of today: What will be the future of Germany after the federal elections?
In an editorial column, the Wall Street Journal wrote about the German Elections of today "Germany’s new players are essentially unknown in the U.S. Leading in the polls is the Social Democrat Olaf Scholz. Behind him trots Armin Laschet, the equally uninspiring candidate of Ms. Merkel’s Christian Democrats. He is trailed by the young Annalena Baerbock of the semi-left Greens and Christian Lindner of the Free Democrats. Mr. Lindner, an old-style liberal, speaks for them all: “We secure the country’s center.”
From my point of view, the future of Germany is uncertain because Merkel moved the country from the west to the east in a dangerous way in the last period of her cycle.
None of the three more important candidates look like a good friend of the United States.
We have to observe these elections carefully because the results will impact the future of the Western World.
