 Germany: Christian Democrats mount racist campaign
The immediate form of the crisis in the Christian Democratic Union is the continual threat by its sister party in Bavaria, the Christian Social Union, to end its coalition with the CDU and emerge as an independent right-wing party on a national basis.
The former CDU minister Christian Schwarz-Schilling and the executive member of the Jewish community Michel Friedmann (CDU) are quoted as decrying "the intensification of emotions with regard to the issue of immigration".
While extreme right-wing parties such as the DVU, the NPD and the Republicans have declared their enthusiastic support, calling upon their members to support the action, the campaign itself has met with growing rejection and opposition from the population.

 PARTY GROUPS IN THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT
This ensures that European elections become an inseparable part of the dynamics of national party competition, too important to the relative fortunes of the domestic political competitors to be given up the ponderous competition of EU issues.
One of the main problems with the European Community is that it involves publics who have been socialized since political maturity into national systems of varying particularity in the challenge of learning an entirely new political order and one that is both complex and decoupled from the familiarities of nationhood.
The result would be a redirection, via political parties, of public expectations from member states to the European Community : the progressive formation of a European public opinion and debate that was not confined to a private dialogue between an unelected Commission and intergovernmental institutions.
