Kohl's Slush Funds: Will Germany's CDU Survive?
The scandal over slush funds of the German Christian Democrats has turned into a national crisis of democracy. The scandal started when the public prosecutors discovered evidence of secret accounts in the office of a party counselor. Testimonies involved former chancellor and party chairman Helmut Kohl, who has admitted that he has received about 2 million DM, but refuses to reveal the donors. Later more illegal funds were discovered, leading to first political consequences. By effect of the German party finance law the revelations risk to completely ruin the party of Adenauer, Erhard and Kohl. The crisis could topple even the new party chairman Wolfgang Schäuble, though a plausible successor is not yet in sight. In opinion polls the Christian Democrats have sharply fell. Hence, chancellor Schröder's coalition is strengthened, but the Social Democrats must fear to be involved in the scandal, too.

German Reformers: Schröder and Merkel Leading
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.

Elections in Germany: New Swing with Schröder
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.

Germany’s Fiscal Reform: Big Boost for Business
During its last meeting on Friday 14th July in Bonn the Bundesrat has approved the biggest financial reform in German history. The reform bill was prepared by finance minister Hans Eichel, while chancellor Gerhard Schröder did his best to guarantee its passage in parliament. Facing growing pressure from public opinion, the opposition Christian Democrats were not able to block the reform in the chamber of regions. Schröder’s SPD-Greens coalition has lately realized a whole line of important political successes and is now expected to arrive in pole position at the next general elections in 2002. Their chances will even grow, if the fiscal reform works like expected and the economy takes advantage of the new favorable business conditions. The Frankfurt stock exchange and several industry leaders have already given an enthusiastic salute to the reform which will lessen fiscal pressure by 60 billion DM a year. The economic and political consequences of this breakthrough will soon be felt all over the continent, where the competition for the best fiscal favor has just begun.

Schröder's Germany: The Social Democrats' Decline
After half a dozen of downfalls in regional elections Gerhard Schröder's government is at risk. During its first year in power, the coalition of Social Democrats and Greens has shown only limited will and little capacity to reform. Especially left wing Social Democrats have hesitated to fully support liberal reforms of the labor market. Schröder has some responsibility in this situation, since he didn't succeed in defining a clear and straight direction to government action. In sight of the next regional tests in spring 2000, which could make a continuation of the current coalition impossible, the German chancellor has now turned to fight. Emphasizing on traditional symbols of the labor movement, Schröder hopes to regain the lost confidence, but first of all he should enter in a new "direct dialogue" with the German citizens.

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.

German Government: The Chancellor's Shadow
The start of the new German Government, the Delusions of the New Center and the ambitions of finance minister Oskar Lafontaine... The new German chancellor, Gerhard Schröder (SPD), entered office at the end of October, but his government has had anything but a brilliant start. The conservatives in his Social Democratic Party of Germany have given an impressive proof of their power and will to resist against radical reform projects. The indisputable protagonist of the coalition-negotiations was the SPD leader and new finance minister Oskar Lafontaine, who appears to be more determined and even more powerful than his chancellor.

European Union: Europe´s First Government Crisis
With the resignation of the European Commission led by Jacques Santer, the European Union has finally experienced, after 41 years, its first real government crisis. Mr. Santer, a former prime minister of Luxembourg, fell over allegations of fraud and mismanagement against some of his commissioners, accusations which were confirmed by the report of an independent commission engaged by the European Parliament. To resolve the crisis of the European executive, a decision of the European Council, the assembly of the prime ministers of the partner states, was necessary. Under the chairmanship of German chancellor Gerhard Schröder Europe's prime ministers met in Berlin and nominated their former Italian colleague Romano Prodi as the next President of the Commission. Prodi will take his office after the European elections in June. Guiding Europe into the next millennium he will also have a leading role in the necessary reforms of the European institutions.

Italian Government Crisis: Revenge of the Dwarves
The crisis of the Prodi-government and the new cabinet of Massimo D'Alema (DS), the first former communist Italian prime minister... In 28 months Romano Prodi's Olive-coalition (center-left) had led Italy from an almost hopeless financial situation to become a fully respected partner in European Currency Union. Then a coalition crisis caused by the Communists and a negative confidence vote in parliament forced the successful prime minister to step down. Unwilling to face new elections, the major government forces proposed an enlargement of their coalition to forces of the right center, excluding at the same time the most unreliable part of the Communist Party. New prime minister Massimo D'Alema is the first ex-communist leader to govern in a Western European country. The circumstances of this crisis highlight the reasons for the enduring political instability in postwar Italy, a country that has seen 55 different governments in 53 years.
