“For Europe, perhaps, better to Trump that mrs. Clinton”. The said Edmund Stoiber, 75 years, from 1993 to 2007, the prime minister of Bavaria (no one here apes the americans and called the governor), and in 2002, challenging the Chancery wrought by Gerhard Schröder. I expect the comments: where is the surprise? The bavarians are reactionary, it is logical that they would like a guy like Donald.
Are the conservatives in the German, and therefore pragmatic. Stoiber is not pessimistic for the future of his Land and of the European Union because he hopes that the new president tuft disturbing normal relations with Putin’s Russia.
When the Kremlin came Gorbachev, the then chancellor Helmut Kohl compared him to Goebbels, the propaganda minister of Hitler. He didn’t trust his slogan on the Perestroika. Was Franz-Josef Strauss, the “Lion of Bavaria”, to fly to Moscow flying a person plane to go to shake hands with Gorby, and that he didn’t ordered his panzer to stifle the peaceful revolution of the citizens of the Gdr and contributed to the reunification of the Germanies. “I do business with all, admitted Strauss, except that with Cuba and with Nicaragua”. Kohl had slow reflexes, which for a politician is not always a defect, then changed his mind, and he gave you with Gorbachev, a rare thing for a German.
“The victory of Trump is a real turn for Europe”, says Stoiber, in an interview with Focus. Granted, but adds: “I marvel to the arrogant criticism of Germany”. He had expected his victory? Asks the weekly of Munich. “I’m surprised as all, but I do not agree with the comments. The media were unanimous, all a matter of opinion, Clinton would have won. It is a disgrace for the media and the pollsters in the Usa, and in particular for the elite in Washington”. The result in the Usa, continues Stoiber, should be a warning to us politicians, the people is concerned, sometimes uses language that maybe is not politically correct. “But we have to understand the fears and problems of the people, and understand their language… America shows what happens when the distance between the establishment and the common people becomes too great.”
Stoiber is expected that Trump is able to establish new relations with Russia: “The climate between Obama and Putin was chilly. With Trump, I think that it will get better, he focuses on personal relationships. You can do it, or not. In each case we have a change.” It is not certain that it will be better for Europe, but for now you can. Europeans should take the most responsibility, because the Usa will not continue in their aggressive policy world, and will focus mainly on their interests. America will not be the Weltpolizist, the policeman of the world, and Trump is not a supporter of free world trade. “Now Europe will be able to sustain its own interests.” Of course, this means, he admits Stoiber, increased defence expenditure, and rely only on their own strength to solve the problem of the exodus of refugees from Africa.
Stoiber does not remember it, but the germans, in the majority, are convinced that the crisis in the Middle East has been caused by the bad policy of Obama. And Stoiber with the change of relations with the Kremlin hopes that there will be an end to the sanctions against Russia, paid in the first line from Germany (and from Italy). And to solve the crisis in Ukraine. Two germans in three believe that the Crimea has reason Putin.
The Csu, the christian social bavarian, have an absolute majority more than half a century. Now lose votes because of the AfD, Alternative für Deutschland. The blame for the successor to Stoiber, Horst Seehofer, a Merkel and of his generous but ill-considered policy of hospitality. And Stoiber also remember that Trump has likened Merkel to Hillary Clinton. Finally, the bavarian breathe a sigh of relief: the Trump is contrary to the Ttip, the free trade treaty between Europe and the United States, which would have condemned to death, european agriculture and local products (our am 41 and would survive three or four), all to the benefit of u.s. multinationals. The sausage white bavarian to enjoy the cool of the day unless. And our prosciutto di Parma.
