Schulz will be the candidate of the Social Democrats against Merkel

The congress of the German Social Democratic party elected with the votes of 100% of the delegates, Martin Schulz as its president and, at the same time, also as a candidate in the upcoming German elections of September 24, as the main opponent of Angela Merkel. The merit of Schulz is to have been able to revive the enthusiasm around the center-left political party, too crushed in his action by the tendency of the grand coalition government, which practiced policies predominantly conservative. While ensuring a valuable stability for the country, the government headed by Merkel has certainly aroused a firm support from the base of the Social Democratic Party, which, rather, had to adapt in a way forced to an alliance with no alternative but, against nature same party. The Schulz's approach to the German problem is certainly less conservative and more disconnected from economic logic, which affected the mandates of Chancellor Merkel; this factor could prove decisive in the electoral mobilization also against those who, while Social Democrat, abstained from the last electoral contests because it did not share the logic of the grand coalition. With Schulz field the center-left party has approached the Christian Democrats quickly, coming to only one percentage point away from the formation of Merkel, according to the latest polls. As announced some analysts, we are facing a real Schulz effect on German policy. However the election is still relatively far away and it is said that the final vote will not happen again the need for a new grand coalition to lead the country; but this time the presence of the former President of the European Parliament should give a German change in attitude toward the European Union, however, acknowledging those instances of greater social equity, which have repeatedly been sacrificed in the name of financial discipline. This point has been the strength, but also the weakness of Merkel, who has not been able to find alternatives that reconcile the financial strength with the need for development of other countries, contributing substantially to the expansion of populist and anti-European movements . The proclamation of Schulz, as party president, elected so clearly, which has never happened in Germany after World War II, demonstrates the will, which also seems to be a necessity, that a substantial part of the German people is proving to a change of direction of politics, both domestic, and European. Schulz's candidacy should be read in this way: a politician convinced of the need for a strong role in the world, but especially in the interior, meaning that Brussels as a factor of development and the progressive embankment inequalities that a functional interpretation finance and the economy intended as ends and not as means produced, creating the current disaffection with the union. Is significant that this change of direction takes place in Germany, which in fact is the lead nation of Europe, the country whose government has so far imposed a restrictive view of the European Union, as ironclad controller of budgetary constraints. This policy was functional to German interests, which, for example, have never agreed to invest their financial surplus, helping to create imbalances in the budgets of other states; Schulz for the element of solidarity between European countries has always been crucial and decisive, and its application should may also be useful to the German country, if it is able to invest in order to effectively its financial surplus, in order to break down their internal social problems, due to a labor market blocked. From the European point of view to invest in other EU countries and outside will give Germany the political authority which has been lacking because too tied to the financial aspect, only one side of the many facets that need to dial the prestige of an ambitious country. Schulz certainly can not solve alone, if it comes at the helm of the German country, all European problems, but it certainly will be able to give the necessary impetus to improve the overall situation.
