Joachim Gauck elected President of the Federal Republic of Germany in 2012, will not seek a further term of five years. He announced his decision Monday, June 6, citing his age. It would have 82 years to the end of a second five-year term. Supported by all parties in the Bundestag, with the exception of the radical left, Joachim Gauck, former head of the management of archives of the Stasi, has restored the image of the federal presidency, a largely representative office, after experiments unhappy with his two immediate predecessors.
At first, Merkel had not wanted to. When, in 2010, Horst Köhler resigned after untimely declarations on German foreign policy, the chancellor had rejected the proposal of the Social Democrats and the Greens to elect Joachim Gauck to the presidency of the Republic. This former pastor, close protesters environments in GDR times, that after reunification had managed the archives of the Stasi, the secret police in East Germany, with a scrupulous concern for both the dignity of the victims and of the State right, did not inspire trust him. Had he not belonged to Bündnis90-Greens party meeting of Western environmentalists and defenders of human rights of the East? Without having been an active opponent of the communist regime, he had made his Rostock parish a place of intellectual freedom. Probably remember it too to the pastor's daughter Angela Merkel that until the fall of the Berlin Wall, it had rather tried to adapt to an unacceptable situation.
Wulff scandal
Still, she preferred him a man of the seraglio, Christian Wulff, Minister President of the Land of Lower Saxony, Christian Democrat colorfast. Presidency Wulff ended after two years years in the scandal. The Chancellor had then no choice but to rally to the candidacy of Joachim Gauck. She did not have to regret it. She feared this president "uncomfortable," as called himself Gustav Heinemann, distant predecessor of Gauck at the head of the FRG. But if relations between the two personalities of the executive were cool at first, they have warmed over the powerful années.Orateur Joachim Gauck has fully exercised the "ministry of the word" that brings in Germany's presidency of the Republic of the pastoral mission. The head of state has few powers except the power to appoint the chancellor, and yet he must in most cases to comply with the majority of Parliament.
International responsibility
But it can influence policy through his speeches. Joachim Gauck does not in private, either to defend liberal democracy, the rule of law, refugee reception - "our heart has no boundaries contrary to our capabilities," Does -he said - respect for the culture of the other, or even to rule in favor of taking international responsibility, including military, from the Allemagne.Il is the most popular personality Germany, a second warrant was acclaimed. But he fears he will be able to assume his office five more years with the essential dignity. One argument could make him change his opinion that Germany is in a political crisis. This is not the case, he noted, announcing that he would retire in March 2017, Germany is a stable country in which the alternation is the sign of a healthy democracy.
New head of state, new coalition?
The successor to Joachim Gauck elected in February 2017 by the Federal Assembly (Bundesversammlung), an ad hoc meeting of the 630 members of the Bundestag and as many representatives appointed by the regional parliaments. No party currently holds the absolute majority required in the first two rounds of voting. In the third, a simple majority suffit.La hunt candidate began. The radical left has a shared nomination with the SPD and the Greens, who could be seen as the signal for a new coalition government "left". This idea has no chance of being accepted. The SPD would present much Frank-Walter Steinmeier, the current foreign minister, but Angela Merkel does not want it. As the Social Democrats-they leave the CDU-CSU take care of first. The negotiations for the Presidency of the Republic and the elections in February prefigure the next government coalition will be after the parliamentary elections of September 2017.
