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. schröder • schroeder • gerhard • merkel • müntefering

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. kohl • schreiber • wyrauch • leisler kiep • germany
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
