50 Years German Basic Law: A Lesson from Weimar With the German Bundestag and Government moving from Bonn to Berlin, this summer a historic circle will be closed: German politics have returned to where they started in 1871, after the foundation of the Reich by Bismarck. Unlike Bonn, Berlin had been a symbol for some of the worst episodes in German history. But the city that paved the way to disaster was Weimar, the former cultural capital of Goethe and Schiller. In the year 1919 the Assembly of Weimar approved contemporarily the Constitution of Weimar and the opprobrious peace treaty of Versailles, thus laying the grounds for the first unlucky democratic experience in modern Geman history. Fortunately the Germans have learned from the catastrophe of the Weimar Republic and the Basic Law approved in May 1949 has proven a solid ground on which the new democracy in Bonn could establish a stable democratic culture. The achievements of the Basic Law will even guarantee the stability and reliability of the new Berlin Republic. bonn • weimar • berlin • basic law • berlin-umzug

German Government: Schröder's Domestic Struggles The resignation of the German finance minister and leader of the Social Democrat Party, Oskar Lafontaine, has liberated chancellor Schröder from his major rival and his government from the principal opponent of cuts in the welfare state and radical reforms in the labor market. Albeit the chancellor's success in foreign politics, his party's popularity among voters is in strong decline. A deregulation of the German labor market is overdue, but up to now Schröder's cabinet has done all the opposite. Many Social Democrats are still opposing the idea of a more flexible labor market and try to save the public social security system by forcing more people into it. Chancellor Schröder, who has also taken his party's presidency, has now elaborated some interesting plans, but first he has to convince his own party officials. Meanwhile the opposition stands ready to take advantage from the coalition's difficulties. germany • schröder • joschka fischer • greens • spd
