Things could turn bad for Merkel: Today referendum could strengthen populists in Rome and Vienna and indirectly and (SS right, populist, anti-European, xenophobic) party "Alternative for Germany" ( AfD). Tailwind for AfD not mean contrary wind for chancellor, says the German financial newspaper.
The dates could be better: the results in Austria and Italy, if they fall within the polls, would not like to Angela Merkel, he will receive two slaps before the forthcoming congress of the Christian Democratic party in Essen.
In Vienna he could be elected president critic Norbert Hofer and Rome might fail her boyfriend Matteo Renzi, also due to the resistance of the populist movement of Five Star. Nine months before the German elections, the AfD would have every reason to celebrate and could be done after the German general elections (September 2017) a real problem for Merkel, Handelsblatt concludes.
Direct impact on German policy will not have the results of today's referendum in Austria and Italy. The message, however, is sufficiently disastrous, since the right-wing populist Austrian could win national elections, and in 2017 also voted by the French and the Dutch. Most dramatic would be the consequences because of the effect in Italy: in case of defeat Renzo not exclude strong turbulence in computational finance. The indebtedness of the country could become a new burden for the eurozone, says the German financial newspaper.
As a further negative element could be accepted today and the fact that unpopular in Italy, German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said Tuesday that "would vote" Renzo referendum.
Yet everything had started so well. When Renzo visited Berlin last time in 2014, the chancellor had told him despite his daring pronouncements: "I'm impressed. I have the impression that we will work very well" and he replied: "Thank you Angela."
