Comment: Merkel’s Waterloo?
Due to the refugee crisis falls to Angela Merkel’s backing in the German population is growing rapidly. This is no surprise, since the welcome has long been a Besorgniskultur become, says Kay-Alexander Scholz.
The refugees as a hard nuts for Angela Merkel – the Chancellor at the rose Monday parade in Cologne shown
The Opening of the borders for the refugees was Angela Merkel’s political isolation: There was no EU-decision, the Parliament has not been asked, let alone the German people. It is as Chancellor simply vorgeprescht and got initially a lot of applause from Germany and around the world. But the pull, the Merkel’s step triggered the imagination of many blown-up.
There are in the ranks of the CDU already members of Parliament talk about that after the next election a Committee of inquiry on the events in the summer of 2015 will give. Initiated by AfD and the FDP, according to the present state of the Umfrgen for the first time or again in Parliament would be represented. That Merkel’s approach is legally vulnerable, many do. The CSU is threatening now even with a Verfassungsklage.
Germany is on Merkel-withdrawal
70 percent of the population are now worried because of the unabated Flüchtlingszustroms. So bad was the atmosphere for ten years, not more. And because, for many, is considered the “refugee crisis equal to Merkel, Merkel the same refugee crisis”, Merkel’s popularity is currently so bad that the majority of your job as Chancellor is dissatisfied.

Also a psychological component plays in this mood a role: Merkel governs Germany now for ten years. For the country, there were good years. Sociologists languages until recently boasted of a “Generation Merkel”. Accordingly, were the poll numbers in the past few years for Merkel always excellent.
It was all well on the way to shake many to the head. No new debt is longer, record tax revenues and low unemployment – why is everything broken? When the Class, now failed, as many think, then the disappointment doubly painful. Also, why are the emotional swings at the moment so extreme is Germany on Merkel-withdrawal.
Concern for Europe
Europe is another point. The Germans are actually in the majority of enthusiastic Europeans. But now, you will see on the evening news, as the hard-earned European unity, more and more cracks. The headwind for Merkel’s European approach in the refugee policy blows and blows. Many have long had Faith in Merkel’s abandoned the Plan. That goes for some hand in hand with a silent anger, which is then in the polls reflects this. Others Express this anger now, loud and feel the populists and Pegida in good hands. And again, the other wears down the concern that the extreme forces in Europe have the political Say.
Europe in crisis because of Angela Merkel! Was it still just you, in Europe in the recent years as brought forwards. Tragic as this was, say some. In the result, it also decreases the agreement for the EU are just quite dramatic.
Predictions? Difficult!
How will it continue? Merkel will continue, withdraw, or weggeputscht? An answer to it there currently is not. However, Merkel already has some feeling blue politically survived, for example, after the financial crisis and during the crisis in Greece. Also: The measures now in the context of the recent Asylpakets II have been agreed upon, assessed the majority of the population as well.
It could also be all different again, so better for Merkel. It will be critical: when to decrease the number of refugees, which is still Thousands coming into the country?
Prefer not to imagine, you want to currently, what would happen if there were a major terrorist attack in Germany. Also would be guaranteed to be many Angela Merkel in the shoes slide.
