Joachim Gauck se descrie drept ‘liberal conservator cu inclinatii de stinga’ (sursa: Der Spiegel)

Pastorul german Joachim Gauck, fost disident si prim director al Autoritatii Gauck, institutia care controleaza arhivele Stasi (fosta securitate est germana) candideaza la presedintia Germaniei din partea coalitiei social democrate si ecologiste.

Cancelarul german Angela Merkel il prefera insa, in mod evident, pe politicianul Christian Wulff, din propriul partid, Uniunea Crestin Democrata. Beneficiind de sustinerea actualului cancelar, se estimeaza ca Wulff are sanse mai mari de a fi ales. Popularitatea Angelei Merkel este insa in continua deteriorare, ceea ce ar putea mari sansele lui Gauck.

Cititi AICI o evaluare a situatiei ipotrivit revistei Der Spiegel. Se pare ca ziua de astazi, 30 iunie, va fi una esxtrem de interesanta in politica germana.

UPDATE

Primele doua tururi de vot n-au condus la un rezultat decisiv. In prezent se desfasoara al treilea tur, in care, pentru alegerea presedintelui, este suficienta majoritatea simpla.

Iata detalii:

…Wulff — the 51-year-old governor of Lower Saxony state and a deputy leader of Merkel’s conservative party — appeared well-placed to win the simple majority needed in a third and final vote later in the day.

He secured 600 votes in the first and 615 in the second round, short of the 623 needed to win outright and of the 644 delegates Merkel’s coalition had.

Gauck in the second round won 490 votes; the hard-left Left Party’s candidate, Luc Jochimsen, 123; and far-right candidate Frank Rennicke three. Seven delegates abstained. (Source, HERE.)

Wulff was elected president after the third tour. See HERE. Gauck honourably lost the elections, merely because former communists refused to vote for his. They preferred to abstain and let the center-right candidate win. Very interesting.
