Angela Merkel
has suffered a sobering defeat in regional elections in her
constituency of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, with her Christian Democratic
Union (CDU) coming third behind the Social Democrats (SPD) and the
rightwing populists Alternative für Deutschland (AfD). Projections late on Sunday night saw the centre-left SPD on 30.5%,
the anti-immigration AfD on 20.9%, and the chancellor’s centre-right CDU
suffering its all-time lowest result in the eastern state, on 19%.
Earlier this year, the CDU had looked like the party most likely to be
tasked with forming the next government in the state. For the past 10 years, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern has been governed in a
“grand coalition” between the SPD and CDU, mirroring the current power
structure at federal level. But an increasingly divisive debate over the
consequences of the German government’s strategy during the refugee crisis has spurred support for AfD
– fronted in the state by Leif-Erik Holm, a radio presenter based in
Berlin’s multicultural Prenzlauer Berg district – even though the state
has been largely insulated from the refugee crisis. Though the result will not have a direct impact on the workings of
the German government, and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern only has a population
of 1.6 million, it has a symbolic value, with regional elections in
Berlin on 18 September and a general election coming up next year.
Merkel, in power since 2005, has yet to confirm whether she will run for
a fourth term in 2017.While the Social Democrats emerged as the largest party on the night
and the results for the Christian Democrats were particularly
humiliating, leftwing parties in the state also suffered considerable
losses. The Left party was projected to have won 13.2%, down from 18.4%
five years ago, while the pro-environment Greens seemed set to win 4.9%,
down from 8.7%. The far-right National Democratic party (NPD), which
has been represented in the state parliament for the last 10 years, fell
beneath the 5% threshold for the first time in a decade, on 3.1%. AfD, by contrast, continued a remarkable streak of electoral
victories at regional level. Three years after being founded on an
anti-euro ticket in 2013, it is now represented in nine state
parliaments. Its co-leader, Frauke Petry,
described Sunday’s result as a blow to Angela Merkel. “Now it is our
responsibility to make politics for the people. The people no longer
trust the old establishment parties to do so,” Petry said. On Sunday night, CDU candidate Lorenz Caffier said: “There was only
one subject during the campaign, and that subject was the refugee
policy. The refugee question was decisive.” The conservative politician
ruled out a resignation and said he hoped his party would be able to
continue to form the state’s coalition government. Peter Tauber, the CDU’s general secretary, described the outcome as
“a bitter result, a new experience”. “We are all responsible for this,”
Tauber said. “It was noticeable that the refugee subject was very
present. Of course many people are looking at Angela Merkel.”
The state election in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern comes a year to the day
after Merkel’s government accepted thousands of refugees stranded at
Budapest train station – the consequences of which have been analysed
across the German media in the past fortnight. In May, a pig’s head
carrying an insulting message was left outside Merkel’s constituency
office in the Baltic Sea town of Stralsund, where she has won a direct
mandate since 1990. AfD candidate Holm spoke of a proud result for a young party. “The
icing on the cake is that we have left Merkel’s CDU behind us,” he said.
“Maybe that is the beginning of the end of Merkel’s time as
chancellor.” Gero
Neugebauer, a political scientist at Berlin’s Free University, sounded a
similar warning for Merkel. “People will see this as the start of the
‘Kanzlerdämmerung’ [twilight of the chancellor],” he said. “If a lot of
CDU members start seeing this defeat as Merkel’s fault, and members of
parliament start seeing her as a danger for the party and their own
jobs, the whole situation could escalate out of control.” The northernmost of the five former East German states that joined
with the West German federal republic in 1990, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern
has in the past been troubled by industrial decline and a dwindling
population but last year registered the lowest unemployment rate and
highest GDP since reunification. An electoral map
of Sunday’s election shows a state split between an SPD-voting west,
where incomes are higher due to its proximity to affluent Hamburg, and
the east, where many electoral districts went to the AfD. In part due to its economic weakness and low population density, the
region was assigned fewer refugees than all but two of Germany’s 16
other Länder; 23,080 asylum seekers were registered in
Mecklenburg-Vorpommern in 2015, roughly a quarter of those assigned to
similarly sized Hesse. Only 3.7% of the state’s population is of
non-German background, one of the lowest rates in the country. In the past year, the state has registered no high-profile criminal
incidents, such as terrorist attacks or rape, carried out by asylum
seekers, and a decline in theft and violent crime. Police in
Mecklenburg-Vorpommern recorded seven incidents of attempted arson at
refugee shelters in 2015. A shooting rampage in Munich and two attacks with an Islamist motive in regional towns in Bavaria in July have fostered a national debate about internal security. Caffier was one of the politicians behind a call for a ban on the full face veil in Germany last month.

Mr.
Tigerli in China Copyright 2016 by Letizia Mancinotranslation by Mary HolmesAll rights reserved
Yes Betty, either or it seems he wanted to fly only with
Singapore Airways.
Boeing or Airbus, it’s just the same
isn’t it? Aren’t they both just fat birds with 500 passengers?
Yes, but Singapore Airlines has the
most beautiful airhostesses: delicate, fine, graceful… Mr. Tigerli had looked forward to the flight
so much!
So the little man was disappointed?
You just can’t imagine how disappointed
he was.
But thank God one of the hostesses was a
pretty Chinese girl. Mr. Tigerli purred loudly but she didn’t hear him because
the purring of the Airbus 380 was even louder.
The poor cat!
You’ve said it Betty. Mr. Tigerli was
in a very bad mood and asked me for a loud speaker.
I’m sure you can get one in 1st
Class.
“”Russian Girl” had even heard you over
the roar of the Niagara Falls” I said to Mr. Tigerli. “You are a very
unfaithful cat. You wanted to get to know Asiatic girls. That’s how it is when
one leaves one’s first love”.
And what did he say to that?
“Men are hunters” was his answer.
Yes, my dear cat, a mouse hunter. And
what else did he say?
Not another word. He behaved as if he
hadn’t heard me.
The Airbus is very loud.
I told him shortly “Don’t trouble
yourself about “Chinese Girl”. There will be enough even prettier girls in
China. Wait till we land in Guilin”.
Did he understand you?
Naturally Mr. Tigerli understood me
immediately. Yes, sweetheart, don’t worry. They will find you something sweet
to eat.
And he?
He was so happy.
No problem going through the immigration
control?
Naturally! Lots of problems. How could I explain to
customs that the cat had come as a tourist to China to buy shoes?
Fur in exchange for shoes…
Don’t be so cynical Betty!
Cat meat in exchange for shoes?
I said to the officials. He isn’t a cat, he is Casanova.
