CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Germany The election of his son John to succeed him was impossible, and the Luxembourg party chose Louis the Bavarian (1314-47) in opposition to Frederick the Fair (1314-30). The ecclesiastical party was again joined by the German princes antagonistic to the emperor, and the imperial forces soon suffered defeats on the Rhine and in Saxony. There was a double election, each of the candidates being elected by one party, and a civil war broke out, confined, however, mainly to the partisans of the two Houses of Wittelsbach and Hapsburg. www.newadvent.org /cathen/06484b.htm   (20891 words)

History of the Bavaria region of Germany The Christian Social Union—the Bavarian counterpart of the national Christian Democrats and the successor of the old Bavarian People's Party—eventually became the leading party in Bavaria. In 1777 the Bavarian succession passed to the elector Charles Theodore of the Palatinate.

Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler     Volume Two The Bavarian did not see the Berlin of four million industrious and efficient working people, but only the lazy and decadent Berlin which is to be found in the worst quarters of the West End. Therefore, while the Bavarian Populist Party, acting from its own narrow and particularist standpoint, fights to maintain the 'special rights' of the Bavarian State, we ought to stand on quite a different ground in fighting for the same rights. During the Soviet regime in Munich great public meetings were held at which hatred against the rest of Germany, but particularly against Prussia, was roused up to such a pitch that a North German would have risked his life in attending one of those meetings. www.govsux.com /mein_kampf_2_10.htm   (8287 words)

German Fears Grow That Far-Right Party Will Return to National Stage The fears have increased because of the growing support that extreme-right parties are enjoying in Eastern Germany, where the German People's Party and the more powerful and better organized National Democratic Party of Germany, or NPD, recently won 10 percent of the vote in regional state elections in Brandenburg and Saxony. But in the long run lots of members and voters of the Bavarian Party - which still exists but is more or less a tiny folklore group - returned to the CSU. BERLIN, Nov. 14 - After a string of electoral successes, there are growing fears that a far-right party could be elected in 2006 to Germany's Bundestag, or Parliament - the first time since World War II. www.freerepublic.com /focus/f-news/1279914/posts   (3285 words)

Corruption scandal shakes Germany´s Christian Democrats The Christian Democratic Party (CDU) which until the end of 1999 appeared to be the most solid and united bourgeois party in Europe and given the difficulties for Schröder´s "red-green" coalition had appeared to be close to a return to power, suddenly saw its popular support shrink from day to day. At the same time, they had largely managed to maintain popular support amongst small businessmen, middle classes, farmers and self-employed people and their associations as well as civil servants and a minority of the working class especially in catholic and/or rural areas. There is the case of former deputy minister Holger Pfahls (who used to be the right hand of the former Bavarian Christian Democratic leader Strauss) who is being searched by the law enforcement authorities on a warrant of arrest. www.marxist.com /Europe/germany_kohl_scandal.html   (3285 words)

European Foundation Intelligence Digest, 18th - 30th June 1998 Following the assassination of a leading member of the opposition Democratic Party, an anti-government demonstration in the centre of Tirana was brutally suppressed by the Albanian government on Monday when police and the army fired into the crowd, killing four people and wounding fourteen others. The Albanian government, which came to power last year as the result of an internationally supported armed uprising orchestrated from the Southern Mafia city of Vlora, and which is dominated by the Socialist Party (the successor to Communist dictator Enver Hoxha’s Albanian Party of Labour) was congratulated in its actions by the entire international community. Jörg Haider, the leader of the Freedom Party, has not hesitated to exploit these fears and has said that ten thousand ‘low-wage workers’ would be awaiting the fall of the external border of the EU to take up jobs, principally in Austria. www.europeanfoundation.org /docs/55id.htm   (2608 words)

Bavaria invites Austrian leader for official visit His party, the Christian Social Union, is sending a parliamentary delegation to Vienna today to show support for its "sister" in the Austrian coalition, Mr Schüssel's People's Party. THE German state of Bavaria has invited President Thomas Klestil of Austria for an official visit to Munich, cocking a snook at the 14 European Union states that have imposed diplomatic sanctions against his country. As head of state, Mr Klestil is not subject to the quarantine measures against the government, but the Bavarian gesture is clearly intended to break the spirit of the EU measures and is likely to be extended to include Chancellor Wolfgang Schüssel, according to Bavarian officials. www.telegraph.co.uk /htmlContent.jhtml?html=/archive/2000/02/10/waus110.html   (453 words)

Bavaria state election: A growing gulf between establishment politics and the people The result of the Bavaria state election held Sunday, September 21 indicates broad public rejection of the measures undertaken by the SPD (German Social Democratic Party)-Green Party government under Chancellor Gerhard Schröder, aimed at dismantling the German welfare state. The Bavarian state election has made unmistakably clear the chasm developing between the political establishment in Germany and broad layers of the population—a gulf that is increasingly evident to those in power. On the first anniversary of the government’s federal election victory in September 2002, the SPD lost around 704,000 voters in the Bavarian election. www.wsws.org /articles/2003/sep2003/bava-s24.shtml   (6299 words)

Estland Eventually the Tallinn Party was outmaneuvered by the realpolitiks of the Tartu faction, owing to internal squabbling on the Tallinn Party's support, the expansion of south Estonia's wealth through the prosperous Russian trade, and the rise to power in the Tartu Party of charismatic ex-businessman Juri Pats, who favoured a close alignment with Russia. Home to 1.1 million people, Tartu vied in the 21st century for the position of capital and won it, thanks to Tartu's prosperity from the Russian trade, though to this day Tartu residents are mocked by their Tallinn counterparts for their supposedly mercantile mindset. Nonetheless, relations between Germany and Estland are polite, and Estlandic-based banking groups continue to operate unimpeded on the former Bavarian worlds. users2.ev1.net /~redroach/ad2300/estland.htm   (6153 words)

Articles - Christian Social Union in Bavaria Franz Josef Strauss (1915-1988) is seen as having set the ideological basis of the party, although he was too young to be a founding leader of the party, which began as a continuation of the Weimar-era Bavarian People's Party. On the federal level, the CSU is often perceived as the more conservative of the two parties, and at times, especially when the CDU showed weaknesses, there has been considerable tension up to threats to break up the cooperation. Only in 1957 in the state of Saarland (in the first election after it had rejoined Germany) the CSU ran against CDU candidates, but this section of the CSU later merged with the CDU. www.xgrey.com /articles/Christian_Social_Union_in_Bavaria   (525 words)

This prompted the Bavarian Prime Minister Eugen Ritter von Knilling to declare a state of emergency and named Gustav von Kahr as Bavarian Commissar, Bavarian State Police head Col.

History of Bavaria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For most of the Weimar Republic, though, Bavaria was dominated by the relatively mainstream conservative Bavarian People's Party. It was to obtain popular support for this policy and for the Bavarian claims on Baden that the crown prince pressed for a liberal constitution, the reluctance of Montgelas to concede it being the cause of his dismissal. Bavaria accordingly opposed the Prussian proposals for the reorganisation of the Confederation, and one of the last acts of King Maximilian was to take a conspicuous part in the assembly of princes summoned to Frankfurt in 1863 by the emperor Francis Joseph. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/History_of_Bavaria   (7112 words)
