New times in Germany and new expectations for the EU

Ngạc Ngư |

Germany has just had a change of government. The early National Assembly election held on February 23 has restored the situation and correlation of power in the National Assembly. The coalition government between the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) and the Green Party and Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPPD) has not continued to be supported by German voters.

CDU/CSU (CDU Christian Democratic Union and CSU Christian Social Union) become the largest political party in the National Assembly, ranked before the Party's choice for Germany (AFD) from an extremely righteous point of view, population and nationalist. The SPD and the Green Party ranked 3rd and 4th.

The CDU/CSU faction does not account for the majority in the National Assembly, so they have to allians with another party to ruled. This faction refused the coalition with the AFD Party and the left -wing party to choose the ruling alliance with the SPD Party. Mr. Friedrich Merz of the CDU party was elected a new Prime Minister of Germany.

In the history of Germany so far, the CDU/CSU and the SPD Party has repeatedly allied together to be in power but always in the situation are the two largest political factions in the National Assembly. Now, the SPD party is only the third in the National Assembly and the opposition AFD party with the votes of voters no less than the CDU/CSU faction, and it is also the political faction that both the CDU/CSU and the SPD party refuse all political cooperation.

Never since the founding of the Federal Republic of Germany in 1949 has the far-right, nationalist, and nationalism faction grown as strongly as it is now in Germany and become such a strong opposition faction in the German parliament.

Most of the fragile ruling alliances, there are many representatives of the CDU/CSU and the SPD Party in the National Assembly who are elected to do not like Mr. Merz, the AFD Party has been so strong, so the power is certainly not easy and convenient for Mr. Merz. The evidence is that it takes the second round in the National Assembly to have the majority of the votes of the congressman in the National Assembly to become the new Prime Minister of Germany. In the history of Germany, so far has never happened.

However, in the politics of Germany, there is a good practice for Mr. Merz that once all the allies, the CDU/CSU and the SPD Party always ruled together for the full term of the National Assembly for 4 years. Merz pursued the goal of opening a new period for Germany both in terms of internal and external relations. Restoring economic growth and significantly improving the international competitiveness of the German economy, reducing taxes, tightening the policy of immigration and refugees, restoring the role and influence of Germany in the EU, strongly strengthening military and defense potential, strong support Ukraine, both enlist and have the bravery of new government response in the United States and US President Donald Trump is the central goal in the Germany. Here shows a very different difference from its predecessor.

The EU has great expectations on Merz and the new government in Germany. The more courageous, more direct and more actual involvement of the German government in all the internal political and foreign politics of Germany, especially the leading and leading role of Germany, will help the EU escape from the difficult and awkward situation both in terms of strengthening cooperation in the Union and handling external issues and responding to challenges coming from the outside, especially in Ukrainian backing. This expectation of the EU is the opportunity to assert himself Merz. The first external activities of Mr. Merz after officially taking office of the German Prime Minister showed that this person was determined to take advantage of that opportunity for himself and for Germany. If not successfully implemented the powerful platform agreed with the SPD, Mr. Merz could not create the premise and favorable conditions necessary for his internal opposition to take advantage of the above opportunity and meet the EU great expectations.
