The new package of legislation for the protection of the environment, the opinions in Germany differ very far, as well as the issue of Migration. This is also shown at the recent ARD-deutschlandtrend.
Since a couple of months the topic of climate protection in the German Public to be omnipresent. Also, the Federal government responded and has now brought law packages on the way. A focus on environmentally friendly modes of transport should be encouraged, and other more expensive.
According to the new “Germany trend” of the opinion research Institute Infratest dimap for the German majority, plead for a no-nonsense approach when it comes to climate protection. Four out of five of the respondents see great need for action. Climate protests, which include, as in the case of “Extinction Rebellion” violations of the law, with, however, little encouragement: blockades of roads or bridges, such as in Berlin, only one in four is justified. Student demonstrations such as those of the “Fridays for Future” find greater acceptance, but also on contradiction. Almost two-thirds do not support it, when students from the school to stay away, to climate protection-demonstrations to participate in.
The new climate laws that are now being discussed in the Bundestag and the Bundesrat, encounter, depending on party preference in part on a very different Echo. The green voters, the measures do not go far enough. A majority of AfD supporters on the other side is against you. In the middle of the voters of the Union parties (CDU and CSU), the legislative packages generally happy with the lie. Here is the new polarization in the German party landscape, with its poles Green and AfD clearly shows.
Have asked the opinion of researchers: Are bans okay? For more than half of that is an Option. 57 percent would have no Problem if the state would prohibit certain things. On the other hand, there are quite a concern about limitations in everyday life, especially in the case of rural residents, and people with little money.
EU-Turkey agreement, may not cost more
The other hotly debated global issue with an impact on everyday life in Germany the Migration is. The focus is currently the Situation in Turkey. Infratest dimap for the Germany trend in a representative sample of 1000 citizens in the period from 7. to 9. October interviewed. After the attack of Turkey on Syria on 9. October has not been asked. However, the Situation of the millions of refugees in Turkey was the topic.
In March 2016, there is a refugee agreement between the EU and Turkey. Thus, the refugees should be made more difficult on a long trip to Central Europe. The agreement has been obtained in the case of the respondents of Germany, trends in acceptance. The majority finds it well; that was shortly after the entry into force of different.
Part of the agreement, financial assistance for the Turkish government to supply the refugees. A total of six billion euros has been pledged. More money should not cost the agreement, however, the majority of the respondents. Currently international a Reform of the agreement will be discussed.
Fixed rate for the boat refugees?
The EU’s hard to find a common refugee policy when it comes to the distribution of the people. Federal interior Minister Horst Seehofer wants to therefore forge a coalition of the willing, to find at least a solution for the refugees and migrants coming across the Mediterranean sea. Seehofer had said for Germany, a quarter of these boat refugees. EU found far, however, only a handful of comrades-in-arms. However, in Germany, he garners a high degree of popularity. A fixed recording rate of almost 60 percent for properly. Here, too, the already mentioned polarization Green’s – when you look at the party trailer-AfD, obviously.
His commitment could be for Seehofer is also a reason why he made the politicians ‘ Ranking, a powerful set of forwards, and now number four is.
At the very front, Angela Merkel, is still. Even if a lot of media Merkel write off now as a lame duck, seems to be the voters, still seen differently. Also, for your potential successor to Annegret Kramp-karrenbauer, looks like it’s not as bad as many headlines reported last. Although she is still on 9th place, but was able to gain approval.
For the party of Merkel and Kramp-Karrenbauer, the CDU, it goes in the “Sunday question” also somewhat upward. The Greens assert themselves as the second strongest political force. For the social Democrats is still no improvement suggests it. Currently, the SPD is looking for a new party leadership – whether it then goes up again?
