German Chancellor Angela Merkel secured a historic third win in parliamentary elections yesterday after her Christian Democratic Union won more than 42 per cent of votes while her rival, the Social Democrats Party got 26 per cent.
This means that Merkel will now form the government with the Social Democrats after its previous coalition partner, the Free Democratic Party, failed, for the first time in Germany’s history, to secure the needed five per cent of votes to enter the parliament.
The landslide victory proved that Merkel is tough despite her seemingly calm and that she is very steady at tough situations, especially towards the rescue plans presented to the European countries suffering from economic hardships.
The Alternative for Germany party has tried to put Merkel to get out of the euro zone but it only secured 4.8 per cent of votes in the polls, a per cent that would not allow her to enter the parliament.
The party’s results seems so tiny compared with the over whelming win of Merkel by her 42 per cent of votes.
Another tiny party, the Greens, tried also to come up but it fell down and only got 8 per cent of votes for its poor elections administration.
The hard-line left-wing party only won 8.5 per cent of votes and this made Merkel the most powerful woman in the world after being elected three times since the economic and financial crisis that hit the European Union.
After Merkel achieved her desires, economic analysts believe that the coalition between the two biggest parties in Germany would mean adopting more leftist policies as Social Democrats seek more taxes on rich people and setting minimum limit of wages.
While flashing the Victory sign, Merkel said she is determined to carry out her promises of four more good years for Germany.
But some hope that after winning the parliamentary elections, Merkel would do justice either among euro countries or third world ones because once the balance of justice is upset, Dwarfs inside Germany will get bigger and she will lose control not only in Germany but in the international community.
