Elections - a referendum on Merkel
In the constellation of the refugee crisis open today the polls in Baden-Württemberg, Rhineland-Palatinate and Saxony-Anhalt, hiring referendum character Angela Merkel. At the same time, the chancellor faces the threat of xenophobic party Alternative Option for Germany (AfD).
The refugee issue is the reference point in the three elections - both in states of western Germany and one in the east - and there are many German voters who, in front of more than a million immigrants who arrived in the country last year, did not hide his concern them about how the country will manage this crisis.
The conservative Christian Democrats (CDU) Angela Merkel see their rates reduced against the AfD, which is gaining ground, and takes advantage of the concern of the world in the wake of the decision taken personally a year ago, the head of the German government to open the border country of refugees who fled Syria to escape the war.
In Baden-Württemberg, a stronghold of the ruling party for at least 50 years before in the hands of a coalition led by the Greens and partners the Social Democrats after the nuclear disaster of Fukushima, Prime Minister of the Green party is expected to dominate his opponent, the CDU.
In Saxony - Anhalt in eastern Germany the CDU is expected to remain the largest party, but polls give the AfD a rate of about 19% and ahead of Merkel's government partners, the Social Democratic Party (SPD). Rhineland - Palatinate, the situation is rather ambiguous.
Defending vigorously the policy adopted in the refugee crisis, the German chancellor attempted yesterday to give a final boost to the campaign of the party's candidates.
"There are situations in life - and that is exactly what happened last fall - where you can not discuss at length about the principles' governing your country, Merkel said, defending the decision.
"People are suddenly there and in need of protection" highlighted in a CDU election rally in Baden - Württemberg. Angela Merkel further noted that European leaders spent much time discussing the agreement with Turkey was a reasonable, beneficial solution. "That is why I believe that is quite right," said German Chancellor causing the crowd applause.
