They want the conservative revolution

The CDU has long quarreled with Merkel's social-democratic course, which she can call this because the Social Democratic leadership is disorienting its government offices without even knowing what social-democratic goals might be. And the only charismatic personality with whom the SPD could have developed a perspective has disgusted her through the exchange with Mrs. Nahles. Instead, she has installed a neo-liberal sleepyhead in the Ministry of Finance. So, finally, the nationalist and backward-looking faction of the CDU-CSU alliance can raise its head and make demands.

The demanded rejection of the refugees is already at the borders and crosses in the authorities and a Herdprämie for women are only the theater to the outside; the objectives lurking in the background are about much more. And the media play in these distraction maneuvers: The Süddeutsche Zeitung is embarrassed by the thesis that the crisis would boil so high, because Seehofer have something against women. Even the FAZ does not want to interpret the signs of the times.

The media's interpretation may not be concerned with the neo-liberal development of society leading to mass impoverishment, and the political class must be populist in order to uphold the political administration. The passage of the Conservatives now faces Mrs. Merkel and her group. However, should Schäuble agree to run for Merkel, the FDP would finally reach its destination and AFD voters would not be waived. And whether the Greens would not sell their soul if they got the Ministry of the Environment assured is not settled; It would not be bad for a majority of their voters.
