Merkel says No to Paulson Bailout Plan
2008-09-22 19:05:00 Over in Europe they're being treated to an America campaign to follow suit on Paulson's bailout plan for saddling US taxpayers with Wall Street's debts but "bareknuckled criticism" has so far been Europe's response.

Merkel sigue con Rajoy
2008-05-08 22:01:00 Como una losa habrá caído el apoyo renovado de Angela Merkel hacia Mariano Rajoy en los estudios de la COPE. Tendremos que estar pendientes mañana de las iras del comunicador endiosado que seguramente califique a la canciller alemana de traidora, maricomplejines, centrista, socialista y demás lindezas con las que obsequia a quien no comparte sus ideas. Para muestra, un botón, las acaloradas palabras que intercambió con el director de El Confidencial, quien acusó a la COPE de 'haber perdido toda perspectiva'. Ya puede el líder mediático hacer bandera de una tan falsa como divertida oposición que dice haber liderado durante dos años. Y es que modestia precisamente no le falta... es totalmente legitimo, que se cuelgue medallas para conseguir que sus jefes le multipliquen el sueldo por diez, pero hombre, cómo puede decir que él ha liderado la oposición durante dos años¡¡¡ Es de risa. Que yo recuerde, no le vi ocupar escaño alguno ni batirse en ningún debate sobre el Estado de la Nac...

Merkel se juega su viaje al centro
2008-01-27 17:50:00 El futuro polÃtico de Alemania se juega hoy en las elecciones de Hesse, el cuarto Estado federado más rico del paÃs. El triunfo del actual primer ministro democristiano, Roland Koch (CDU), de 49 años, darÃa alas en el seno de su partido a los descontentos con la lÃnea moderada impulsada por la canciller Angela Merkel en el Gobierno de gran coalición que mantiene con la socialdemocracia (SPD). Mientras tanto, una victoria de la socialdemócrata izquierdista, Andrea Ypsilanti (SPD), de 50 años, repercutirÃa sin duda en la lÃnea de la formación polÃtica y podrÃa suponer un giro a la izquierda.Con un SPD virado a la izquierda y una CDU derechizada, la misión de gobernar la gran coalición en BerlÃn se hace cada vez más difÃcil. Se corre el riesgo de una paralización de la tarea de gobierno y que el resto de legislatura, hasta el otoño de 2009, se convierta en un intento permanente de los socios de coalición por adquirir un perfil que consiga votos de cara a las elecc...

Germany's Merkel attacks "middle-class anti-Semitism"
2008-01-26 13:10:00 By Sylvia Westall BERLIN (Reuters) - Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Friday Germany must tackle disguised "middle-class anti-Semitism" and attacked those who were silent about the country's painful past. Speaking ahead of a memorial day for victims of the Nazi era nearly 75 years after Adolf Hitler's party came to power, Merkel said that while anti-Semitism was often linked to poorer communities, the middle-class was also to blame. "I see, in the educated classes, a more disguised form of anti-Semitism, that is not so readily defined," Merkel told a conference, describing it as "a form of middle-class anti-Semitism". "There is, in broad parts of the population, an awful silence when faced with all the historical images, with our own history, and this silence is always a danger". Millions of people were deported, imprisoned and killed by the Nazis from 1933-1945 and politicians say the era's difficult legacy still haunts Germany today....

Angela Merkel: The EU will lose legitimacy if CO2 emissions are not reduced
2007-12-04 21:18:00 Angela Merkel, Germany's chancellor, firmly believes that the EU should be the leaders of the fight against climate change. That's why she's asked Germany's fellow members in the EU to accomplish their Kyoto Treat figures. A different policy would cause Europeans to lose their legitimacy as eco-leaders, she said.Merkel, who has become one of the main voices on the topic of global warming, criticised some EU countries (including Germany itself) that aren't reducing their CO2 emissions. She also said that developed countries should be an example for developing countries. Merkel is introducing her proposals at this week's United Nations Conference about Climate Change in Bali in front of Germany's Council for Energy Conservation. Europe hasn't reduced emissions by eight percent, as agreed to in the Kyoto Treaty, but only a mere two percent.The proposals weren't mentioned in our source news, but Merkel is expected to publish the new set of measures at the beginning of 2008, thr...
