Schröder Faces Poll Blow in Hamburg The German chancellor, Gerhard Schröder, suffered a humiliating blow last night when his Social Democratic party was left trailing in local elections in the traditionally left-leaning city of Hamburg. The CDU's spokesman Christian Wulff said the "sensational" result in Hamburg was a protest against Mr Schröder and his government, which he said had lost the confidence and trust of the German people. Last night's result for the CDU also strengthens the position of the party's national leader, Angela Merkel, who is expected to fight Mr Schröder in Germany's general election in 2006. www.buzzle.com /editorials/2-29-2004-51115.asp

The Observer International Germans love Schröder again She has a glacial relationship with Edmund Stoiber - leader of the CSU, the CDU's Bavarian sister party - who harbours ambitions to be the opposition's candidate for Chancel lor, despite his defeat by Schröder in 2002. Merkel is a far less charismatic figure than Schröder, whose humble origins - he is the son of a cleaning lady - were intriguingly documented last week by Stern magazine. Peter Lösche, a political expert at Göttingen University, traces Schröder's remarkable comeback to his decision last February to resign as SPD leader and concentrate on reforming Germany. observer.guardian.co.uk /international/story/0,6903,1371921,00.html

article.print?id=1910 Meanwhile, Schröder confirmed his consent to the EU constitution, saying "It wouldn't make any sense to reconsider the EU convention's draft constitution again." He also said he hoped that the ratification process will soon be concluded. Though German Chancellor Schröder supports the draft, his government is deeply divided over two immigration-related proposals – the Greek plan to harmonize immigration and asylum within the EU and the transition to majority voting on certain issues. A day before the summit Schröder reiterated his conviction that Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer would be a suitable candidate for the newly created position of EU foreign minister. yaleglobal.yale.edu /article.print?id=1910

Davids Medienkritik: Schroeder On The Way Out / Schröder auf dem Weg zum Ausgang German Chancellor Gerhardt Schröder is stepping aside as the leader of the German Social Democrat Party after a series of disastrous electoral losses in local elections. (Tonight Schröder and comrades should ask themselves: "why didn't we cooperate with the CDU when we were in the opposition to implement needed reforms instead of systematically blocking everything.") During his election to chancellor, Schröder used anti-American rhetoric... pandora.nla.gov.au /pan/31892/20040618/medienkritik.typepad.com/blog/2004/02/schroeder_on_th.html

article.print?id=656 Gerhard Schröder, Germany's embattled chancellor, on Wednesday suffered a new blow as the country's highest court struck down his landmark immigration law after procedural objections by the opposition. But now a law liberalizing immigration, put in place by Chancellor Gerhard Schröder, has met with opposition from several local states, demonstrating that local interests, national interests, and the interests of global labor are not always in sync. The government's room for manoeuvre is limited by the fact that any attempt by Mr Schröder to accommodate the CDU will inevitably prompt objections from the liberal-minded Greens, the junior coalition partner in the federal government. yaleglobal.yale.edu /article.print?id=656

Germany: state elections in Saxony-Anhalt - Increased vote for the extreme right The SPD candidate for Federal Chancellor, Gerhard Schröder, has demanded that the SPD in Saxony-Anhalt form a "grand coalition" with the CDU, the very party which just lost the election. Frey invested millions in a large-scale propaganda offensive and was able to turn to his own advantage the pent-up anger and desperation felt by many of the victims of the worsening social crisis. Lying on the rivers Elbe and Saale, and with two million voters, Saxony-Anhalt was once the second biggest industrial area in Germany, surpassed only by the Ruhr. www.wsws.org /news/1998/may1998/sax-m9.shtml   (1963 words)

Foreign Dispatches: 09/28/2003 - 10/04/2003 Left-wingers in the party complained bitterly yesterday that Mr Schröder's attempts to reform the economy with a series of cuts to Germany's generous social welfare, pension and employees' rights provisions had led to an "erosion at the base of the party" with thousands of members handing in their party cards. Schröder's Popularity Dives Amid Harsh Spending Cuts screams the headline of this Independent story, and one might take that to mean that Herr Schröder was making spending cuts the public at large found deeply unpopular; but what do we learn on reading further into the story? The result, which implied that in the event of a snap general election the conservatives could obtain an absolute majority in parliament, was published against the backdrop of an ongoing dispute within the Social Democrats over the government's reform programme. reti.blogspot.com /2003_09_28_reti_archive.html   (1963 words)

ENB : COP-5 Negotiations After the election of the new COP President, Jan Szyszko (Poland), and a speech by Gerhard Schröder, Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany, attempts to move on to organizational matters were frustrated for several hours while informal consultations were convened.

Guardian Unlimited The Guardian German court issues gagging order on Mail on Sunday over Schroder A lawyer acting for the German chancellor, Gerhard Schröder, announced late on Thursday that he had won an injunction from a court in Hamburg forbidding the publishers of the Mail on Sunday from reporting on aspects of the chancellor's private life. German court issues gagging order on Mail on Sunday over Schroder But more than one commentator has protested that the Schröders themselves blurred the line between private and public in the run-up last year's general election campaign when Doris Schröder-Kopf, a former political journalist, played an unusually prominent role in her husband's campaign. www.guardian.co.uk /international/story/0,3604,877347,00.html   (597 words)

The Agonist thoughtful, global, timely The Social Democratic Party of Chancellor Gerhard Schröder and the opposition Christian Democrats are more deeply rooted in the west, as is suspicion of far-right groups like the National Democratic Party of Germany, which won nearly 10 percent of the vote in the eastern state state of Saxony. Chancellor Gerhard Schröder's ruling Social Democrats were dealt a heavy blow yesterday by voters in two east German states where anger at high unemployment and economic reforms prompted a surge in support for the far Right and post-communists. In Saxony, which the Christian Democrats have ruled in a paternalistic style since reunification, the National Democrats quietly built a grass-roots network in the countryside and small towns, many of which were blighted economically by the demise of the coal-mining industry. www.agonist.org /story/2004/9/19/113647/903   (5960 words)

The CDU Financial Scandal - February 24, 2000 Edmund Stoiber, chairman of the CSU, the CDU's Bavarian sister party, and minister president of Bavaria: If the CDU continues to struggle with its past and postpones a thorough renewal, CSU-boss Edmund Stoiber is a likely conservative candidate for Chancellor in the next general election in 2002, challenging Gerhard Schröder. Manfred Kanther, chairman of the Hesse CDU until 1998, served as a "law and order" interior minister in Helmut Kohl's cabinet until the CDU's defeat by Gerhard Schröder's SPD in October 1998. Before the affair fully unfolded, the CDU was leading in the polls in both states and had hoped to extend its control of the Bundesrat, the upper house of parliament where the states are represented, by winning both elections. www.aicgs.org /at-issue/CDUAffair.shtml   (5960 words)

WORLD VIEWS: German election reveals two or no winners; Iran asserts nuclear-energy production rights; Pakistani journalist bashes loutish Muslims Chancellor Gerhard Schröder, seeking a renewed mandate for proposed reforms, claims to have won, even though his Social Democrats (SPD) scored just shy of their main rivals, the more right-leaning Christian Democrats (CDU) led by Angela Merkel, a politician from the former East Germany. Whether Merkel, a former physicist, has it in her to put up a fight against Schröder for control of whatever governing coalition now emerges -- and, ultimately, for the chancellorship -- remains to be seen. Schröder's center-left governing coalition fell apart, as the SPD won only 34.2 percent of the vote. www.sfgate.com /cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/gate/archive/2005/09/20/worldviews.DTL&type=printable   (1557 words)

The Observer International US to punish German 'treachery' The plan - discussed by Pentagon officials and military chiefs last week on the orders of Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld - is designed 'to harm' the German economy to make an example of the country for what US hawks see as Chancellor Gerhard Schröder's 'treachery'. Rumsfeld and his staff have made no attempt to hide their fury at Schröder's 'treachery and ineptitude' over Iraq. Last week Schröder leaked to reporters a Franco-German plan for avoiding war by increasing the number of UN weapons inspectors before informing his American counterparts. observer.guardian.co.uk /international/story/0,6903,896573,00.html   (1557 words)

Guardian Unlimited Special reports Extremist parties exploit German anxiety The results for the state parliament elections in the eastern states of Saxony and Brandenburg dealt a further blow to the chancellor, Gerhard Schr&, and his national coalition of Social Democrats and Greens. The neo-Nazis of the National Democratic party of Germany (NPD), a party the government tried and failed to have banned last year because of its extremist views, took a projected 9% in Saxony and 12 seats in the state parliament in Dresden, one short of Mr Schröder's party. Mr Schröder's push to shake Germany out of stagnation and stubbornly high unemployment by, initially, cutting unemployment benefits from next year and shortening the time for which they are paid, dominated the election. www.guardian.co.uk /germany/article/0,2763,1308212,00.html   (675 words)

Germany's Not-So-Grand Coalition That's pretty much what Germany faces in the coming years, following an agreement announced Oct. 10 by Angela Merkel's center-right Christian Democrats (CDU) and Gerhard Schröder's center-left Social Democrats (SPD) to form a so-called Grand Coalition of Germany's two major political groupings. Some pundits were predicting her political downfall after her party and its allies, the Bavaria-based Christian Socialist Union (CSU), just barely edged Schröder's Social Democrats in the Sept. 18 voting. But Merkel recovered with amazing speed, silenced critics in her own ranks, and hung tough in negotiations with Schröder to claim the Chancellorship. www.businessweek.com /bwdaily/dnflash/oct2005/nf20051010_2612_db039.htm   (899 words)

German News - The November issue of the monthly magazine of German Embassy As Chancellor Gerhard Schröder (SPD) and Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer (Greens) signed the 88-page agreement in Berlin on October 16, Schröder promised that the new red-green coalition would "summon the courage for further change," with a focus on labour market reforms to reduce unemployment. After having taken office, Federal Chancellor Schröder formed his Federal Cabinet and proposed his Ministers to the Federal President for appointment. Just over three weeks after their victory in the Federal elections this fall, Germany's Social Democratic Party (SPD) and its junior partner, the Green party, have completed a coalition pact that is to guide the course of government for the next four years. www.germanembassy-india.org /en/germannews/nov02/pg05.html   (441 words)

Telegraph News Merkel shines in Schröder showdown Chancellor Gerhard Schröder and his conservative challenger Angela Merkel brought the election campaign into German living rooms in dramatic fashion last night, facing off in a hefty television duel which could prove pivotal to the country's most arresting political contest for decades. Mr Schröder, rather than the slip-up prone Mrs Merkel, was the only one to stumble badly at any point as he attempted to tackle a question on Germany's tax system, which Mrs Merkel has pledged to simplify. Around 15 million households tuned into the 90-minute confrontation which was broadcast on four channels at prime time, and offered the increasingly-isolated Mr Schröder one of his last chances, two weeks before the election, to sell himself to voters. www.telegraph.co.uk /news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2005/09/05/wgerm05.xml&sSheet=/news/2005/09/05/ixnewstop.html   (646 words)

German president clears way for early elections He explained that he had granted the motion of German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder and taken the decision to hold federal elections on September 18. After Schröder’s government lost a vote of confidence in the Bundestag on July 1, Köhler had 21 days to decide whether to call new elections. They argued that according to Paragraph 68 of the German Constitution, a dissolution of parliament on the basis of a vote of no confidence is allowed only when the chancellor no longer commands a majority in parliament, not when a government majority abstains or votes against the chancellor as a tactical means of dissolving parliament. www.wsws.org /articles/2005/jul2005/germ-j25.shtml   (7216 words)

Germany: Social Democrats Suffer Major Setbacks in Brandenburg German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder’s Social Democrat Party took a deep plunge in Sunday’s municipal elections in the eastern state of Brandenburg. State Premier Matthias Platzcek (SPD) attributed his party’s slip in popularity to the federal politics of Chancellor Schröder.

Germany Info: Business & Technology: What's New? The initial concept has already drawn favorable reviews from Chancellor Gerhard Schröer, Germany?s labor and economics ministers, and prominent economists such as Klaus Zimmermann of Berlin-based DIW, one of Germany's six big think-tanks. Economics Minister Werner Mueller called the proposals "well balanced in social policy terms." Schröer met with Hartz and representatives of the major unions, DGB confederation of trade unions, IG Metall factory workers union, IG BCE chemicals and mining union, and ver.di services union, on July 5.

Gifts and Gerhard for Putin’s Birthday MOSCOW — President Vladimir Putin received a double-barreled shotgun from German Chancellor Gerhard SchrÚder, a book about virgin soil from a fire-extinguishing farm worker and a heavy dose of sarcasm from Russia’s most famous prisoner as he celebrated his 53rd birthday on Friday. A Kremlin spokesman said SchrÚder had given Putin a double-barreled shotgun, Regnum.ru reported Saturday.

That would be bad news for Stoiber, who leads the conservatives, but good news for Schr&oumml;der and other center-left pols long harassed by the paper. Bild has mellowed since Springer's death in 1985, but all editorial staff still must pledge to uphold his basic principles, which include unwavering support for the U.S. and the free market. www.businessweek.com /magazine/content/02_20/b3783135.htm   (847 words)
