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.
