After the party finance scandals that hit his predecessor Kohl and the opposition CDU, Gerhard Schröder's SPD-Greens coalition has recovered from its disastrous first year. Thus the Social Democrats have recently defended their positions in the regional elections in Northrhine-Westfalia. But Schröder has even used the opportunity to finally put his government on the right tracks in reform policy: together with his finance minister Hans Eichel he has presented a project for fiscal reform that should prepare the German economy for growing competition in the globalization era. In the meantime the Christian Democrats have been concentrating on getting clear of the scandals. In April the CDU, once a party of catholic patriarchs, has elected its new leader giving a unequivocal signal of renewal: Angela Merkel is a woman, she is protestant and she comes from Eastern Germany, the former DDR.
