Who will lead the country to the future and what will it be like? 00:01 – September 26 “Merkel leaves bedlam behind” Pro-Russian nationalists are joining the Bundestag. How Germany will change after the elections?”It is not for nothing that in Germany they call him” Scholzmat “, that is, such a Werther robot by nature,” Kamkin said. In this he differs from former German Chancellors Willy Brandt (1964-1987) and Gerhard Schroeder (1998-2005), who had open-minded views and strong charisma.
It will take Scholz some time to gain the same authority inside The EU that Merkel possessed. His experience in politics and credit of trust will help him, but a lot will depend on whether he succeeds in establishing himself as chancellor: to finally form the government and ensure its productive work.
According to Kamkin, time will tell how viable there will be a coalition. At this stage, it is extremely difficult to make any long-term forecasts. “True, it is being formed quite dynamically, there were no excesses, scandals, leaks, so we can say that the process is taking place in a constructive atmosphere,” he said.
Earlier it became known that the new ruling coalition Germany agreed on the composition of the cabinet of the FRG government. A new chancellor has been determined in the country – it will be Scholz. The procedure for his election will take place in about two weeks.
