The head of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SDPG) Olaf Scholz will be a pragmatist Chancellor and a supporter of “Policies of Small Steps”. Thus, the main qualities of the future leader of the Federal Republic of Germany described the leading researcher at the Center for German Studies of the Institute of Europe of the Russian Academy of Sciences Alexander Kamkin in a conversation with “Tape.ru.”
The political analyst also pointed to the similarity of Scholz with his predecessor in this post by Angela Merkel: both policies seek consistency and leisurely in their actions, try to avoid sharp movements.
“No wonder in Germany is called” Scholzmat “, that is, such a veter robot in character,” said Kamkin. This is different from the former German Chancersters Willie Brandt (1964-1987) and Gerhard Schröder (1998-2005), who possessed enough open views and strong charisma.
Scholtsu will take some time to win the same authority within the EU who possessed Merkel. He will help his experience in politics and credit credibility, but much will depend on whether it will be able to establish himself as Chancellor: finally form the government and ensure its productive work.
According to Kamkin, time will tell how viable coalition will be. At this stage, do some long-term forecasts are extremely difficult. “True, it is formed quite dynamically, there were no excesses, scandals, leakage, so we can say that the process is going on in a constructive environment,” he said.
previously became known that the new ruling coalition of Germany agreed the composition of the Cabinet of the German government. A new chancellor was determined in the country – they will become Scholz. The procedure for its election will take place in about two weeks.
