The end of the era Kohl and the chances of the new government coalition lead by Gerhard Schroeder... Helmut Kohl (CDU), one of the great protagonists of European politics, has left the scene after sixteen years in power. His electoral defeat in the Federal Elections of September 1998 signs the end of an era. For the first time German voters have imposed a complete change between government and opposition. Thanks to this outcome the new government coalition between Social Democrats and Greens has now a stable majority in parliament and should be able to realize the substantial change demanded by voters. If the winner Gerhard Schroeder (SPD) succeeds in giving new swing to Germany's economy and reform politics, he can become a great chancellor.
