German Angst: Mad Cows and Depleted Uranium
At mid-term of the legislation period German chancellor Gerhard Schröder has already lost seven ministers of his cabinet starting in fall 1998. The latest were the minister of sanity Andrea Fischer (Greens) and the minister for agriculture Karl-Heinz Funke (SPD) who resigned in January amid the mishandling of the crisis following the cases of Mad Cow Disease (BSE) found in Bavaria and Schleswig-Holstein. As a consequence of the news about ill cattle found all over Western Europe, worried consumers have almost stopped buying beef. Schröder has reacted to the crisis nominating two new ministers, among them Renate Künast (Greens), responsible for consumer protection and agriculture, who will try to introduce a new kind of natural agriculture in Germany. Unfortunately for Schröder there are other ministers at risk, first of all foreign minister Joschka Fischer, a Green, who has been questioned over his past as a street-fighter in Frankfurt in the early 70s. Defense minister Rudolf Scharping (SPD) is much criticized for having exposed his soldiers serving in Kosovo to excessive health risks from uranium-tipped munitions used by U.S. forces. Several NATO peacekeepers have died of leukemia since serving in the Balkans, adding yet another concern to the European agenda.
