The more chaos engulfs her, the steadier she looks. The sudden downfall last month of the German president, Christian Wulff, whom she had picked for the job in 2010, did her no apparent harm. Nor did the naming of a successor, Joachim Gauck, whom she once opposed. On March 14th trouble erupted again when the government of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), Germany's most populous state, collapsed unexpectedly. This will rattle Mrs Merkel's coalition. But it is unlikely to cause the chancellor herself lasting damage. The biggest loser is likely to be the FDP, which reportedly toppled the NRW government almost by accident. The tricky questions for Mrs Merkel are how to manage a coalition with a party facing doom and how to position herself for what comes next. Already, she governs almost as if she were in a grand coalition of all the main forces bar the Left Party. In advocating minimum wages and withdrawal from nuclear power she is closer to the SPD and Greens than to the FDP. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
