The great wailing and gnashing of teeth of the SPD after the election

I admit I'm surprised. Puzzled about how the only clear loser in the election for the 17th German Bundestag of deal 27/09/2009 with this result. The question is - of course - from the SPD.
Because now often done as if you had to swallow in the last four years troublesome lot of compromises in the grand coalition with the CDU / CSU, which was not clearly social democratic policies. Is that really so? Is it not rather the case that the former and now again standing for election, Chancellor Dr. Angela Merkel a much bigger problem had to sell her as a gesture of their own group sozialdemokratisierende chancellor, the CDU?
to much of policy making in the last four years has been perceived by citizens as a standstill, while having many breathed a sigh when the federal government, after some hesitation, decided earlier this year decided against the market and government intervention administration. This decision seems to have been correct, it was a typical continental European decision now by the English-speaking countries - initially half-hearted, now with some more on Verve - itself understood.
The causes for the current catastrophic development of the electoral potential of the SPD, however, has deep-rooted, and that the party knows exactly.
Again and again the slogan of "Hartz IV" thrown into the debate, what the SPD is now ultimately - is to have failed - especially by embracing electoral growth of the Left in West Germany. Because surely something is up. Not for nothing had Gerhard Schröder as the last Social Democratic Chancellor of a red-green government, throwing his entire Machtimpetus in the pan (and it also has lost the party presidency) to implement the Hartz laws. The fact that he assisted the Greens still have the possibility, should a decided fall - be who has taken them as a civil rights party, at least the social aspect and the social freidemokratisiert - just like Kosovo, like Afghanistan. This is for
The Greens are much less dramatic than for the SPD, but never saw the ecologists, the orientation of the social state of the Federal Republic as their primary task (this was so - really - the SPD responsible).
It may seem surprising now, when I state that with regard to the SPD Hartz IV is quite consistent. The party is much more performance-oriented than it might at first sight, which - by itself - is no error at all. The problem is that the active component of the "Demanding and conveyance" (note the order, which is already in the law was deliberate) has never worked and will not work in the future probably will. Apart from the fact that the current grand coalition can not even on how to deal with the further development of the Job Center (or associations), some in the basic security for jobseekers, one wonders already, such as an all-embracing - as constituted pursuant to law - Case Management should work, if that far, not even in parts of the Republic are. Instead, there is a penalty rate of about 4%. Some find it a little, I think this is an immense amount.
And I also circles around the actual core of the problem. Of course you can include with Wolfgang Clement take the position, be social, which create employment, and who does not think such is ultimately only too lazy to fund his lifestyle through their own work.
For long sections of those who now live at a level of social assistance, but basically the job market are available, but the hits just not the case. The SPD knows, of course, only too well and it acts strangely helpless, that they won as the temporary removal of your disabled graduates employment abolished by the CAM, has despite the fact that this has succeeded only, even university graduates with severe disabilities in an appreciable extent in the primary labor market accommodate. It
hitch so the social. That is - of course - one of the key problems when I get to the bottom even after only Civil constituencies to try (as one may assume that the quartet Steinmeier, Muentefering, Steinbrück and Schröder without further notice). The SPD will have now to prove the opposition because it just does not try to continue to be the better CDU (and it is hardly conceivable that the now An incoming coalition to provide a comprehensive labor market reform on the legs will be able , the same would be torn apart by the liberal public formally in Germany is not for nothing is a pretty but appropriate saying: "Only Nixon could go to China")..
But the Greens and the Left should not their - alleged - Election merits . Rest The fact that the LEFT of Weigend not for its content but because of the potential for protest against the SPD has been selected (which is especially West German Chand, in East Germany is the Left as Miliepartei quite a serious, more structurally conservative active People's Party) showed even exit polls well before the Bundestag election, in which the party was granted while the competence to make problems visible and agitation to get on the agenda of politics, but not a solution competence in this regard. This is not surprising, where the Left is sitting in the government (as in Berlin), making them each "Concerto for Strings" with that of the corresponding state budget seems to require.
almost as stunned as to the memento mori of the SPD, I was personally cheering on the howling of the Greens, have something get hold of more than 10% of the vote. Thus, the Group is the second time in a row up the rear with regard to the Group of strength in the German Bundestag last dar. This indeed down to make another four years, a decent opposition (and in the breadth of the topics that the Group may take into account purely real), indicated, however, already pointed out that the party, she continues to behave aggressively only on the ecological, gives birth to "the end of the road" has reached as far as the voter popularity. Also arises the question - I personally am no means a friend of this model, but for the option, the ability of the party plays a big role - whether it be the Greens at the federal level, can make long-term, bind exclusively to the SPD.
For that was evident throughout the campaign: that next to me to understand certainly millions of other people are not able to explore how the SPD and the Greens introduced a government contract by the voter for now. The SPD has built on the option of a so-called traffic light coalition, was with the Greens, the degree of clarity is not quite so clear, since both parties had excluded a coalition with the Left, this was only an option. The question that arises now is this just how realistic that is to be had anywhere. Neither the FDP in its coalition statement during this election campaign, only once "wobbled" (for which only one so far not considered particularly resistant force Dr. Guido Westerwelle already deserve applause), nor is currently really really imagine that those voters that the FDP have selected (there is such an astonishing voter of the SPD towards the FDP, which is so obvious that you only look at the election results from 2005 and 2009 on), a red-yellow-green alliance could have imagined or would this even desired (So ends up taking place in the pre-election exit polls, which coalition will all desirable, the grand coalition just before ... red-red-green, who would now seriously expected anything else?).
ascertaining numerical You must not: It will be interesting four years (because that the Christian-liberal coalition will hold over this period is probably due to their projection on mandates). For according to the still ongoing global economic crisis will leave many campaign promises of black and yellow do not hold. Neither will you get to the so-called "service providers" (which means above all FDP obviously something completely than would be realistic, that is almost exclusively their own constituencies) to relieve tax to the extent as has been previously promised to be made even more social "atrocities" particularly cruel. Erinenrt is just a word to the chancellor shortly after the election, it now had no fear. I think that is to be taken literally. Mrs. Dr. Merkel will maneuver sozialdemokratisierend in a similar way by the political environment, as it has already done that for four years.
proves what us: On the thesis of "fat", when at rest lies the power must be something in it. You will be in Germany for activism voters punished without mercy (see Schroeder), by expectant and late - in Merkel's case, usually not even too late - act you can collect the electorate only plus points. Well this does not work on the political left, in addition to warmth always has the right to one (or more) political project (s), but on the political right does it splendidly.

Federal Constitutional Court bans The NPD anti-Polish statements (http://bit.ly/l6qYo)

The Federal Constitutional Court today in an appeal decision (decision of the 3rd Chamber of the Second Senate of 24.09.2009, application No: 2 BvR 2179/09) as part of a constitutional challenge a decision of the Supreme Administrative Court (OVG) in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern procedures for interim property confirmed that had the district association Uecker-Randow the NPD, the distribution of anti-Polish poster prohibited (http://bit.ly/l6qYo). The constitutional complaint was not even accepted for decision. Then stay "to stop Poland's invasion," statements such as or in this context, the pictorial representation of crows and Euro bank notes, after which picks one of the crows, is prohibited. In short, has both the SAC and the Constitutional Court, the human dignity of those affected live Germany Poland seen (see below reasons 1.d.aa. [paragraph 11]).
The decision is based systematically clean. Content, too, it must be upheld in its entirety, both when the board is based on the disturbance of public order as well as a violation of human dignity of Polish citizens living in the Federal Republic. Although exaggerated and polemical debate on the democratic discourse - especially in election campaigns - one can, and should not mean that is operated in the manner of the "striker" party propaganda!

Nike Greco Supremes O

In Rhineland-Palatinate praised the AGG. Why?

The General Equal Treatment Act (AGG) is to reduce discrimination against minorities in Germany in civil law. This law was the basis of a compromise between the coalition partners of the grand coalition, where you have almost all the relevant components of an earlier draft left unconsidered, which was still red-placed Green in the Bundestag, has become the discontinuity (which is the elimination of all proposed legislation after the close of a Term) fell prey.
Now my Rhineland-Palatinate Minister of Labour, Social Affairs, Health, Family and Women (MinASGFF) Malu Dreyer, the state Commissioner for Migration and Integration Maria Weber and the country representative for the interests of disabled people Ottmar Miles-Paul, did the law proven (press release by the Ministry of 07.09.2009 the following link: http://bit.ly/17vh46).
Fri Weber says it's beneficial integration that companies could now carry out training to prevent discrimination within the company. Also observe that the equality of lesbians and gay men by the AGG been cemented to the point that you now also at the national legislative level, the partnerships (so - since the term "marriage" constitutional law is for the coexistence of man and woman protected by a marriage certificate - the grounds of permanent bonds called same-sex partners who were executed before a registrar) on the same footing with marriage .
For Mr. Miles-Paul, it is already a success in itself, that disabled people were ever taken in with the law (for background: the relevant directives of the European Union have the - as yet - had not provided). In addition, there is at least intriguing, from a former representative of the "advocacy Independent Living" read to have, among disabled people handle it is to people with disabilities (it makes a huge difference whether I as a human being, one body had, sensory or intellectual damage, which implies an impairment that leads only to disability in the social environment or whether I, as a man by my disability even in the - must be stigmatizing word choice - wrong, but maybe that's only the press department of the Ministry "botched"). This is a diction that is backward looking and fits rather well to the language of the CDU / CSU as the most prominent representatives concerned itself with the representatives for the interests of disabled people. After all, the fault
Minister and the two officers that the law was not sufficiently particular in civil law is too narrow.
"Yes, where else?", One is tempted to ask. The General Equal Treatment Act regulates virtually exclusively matters of civil anti-discrimination protection (apart from employment in public service to which the law is also applicable). If the minister at the start of the press release to stand out, the law has served to raise awareness of the effect in much of the population that there are a lot of discrimination for minorities, so that - with all due respect - nonsense.

The AGG may be one of the least known Laws in the German-speaking apply. to this is now for laws that protect minorities and prevent their discrimination is not unusual (that has existed since 2001, the SGB IX as a successor for the Severely Handicapped Act, is still less than many companies know, that disability equality laws at the federal is-how at country level until today no one knows). If a case of discrimination is a - as in the recent case of a four-star hotels in Bavaria, the thought that he should prevent a disabled guest underlying the sauna experience - no one even comes up with the idea that there could be one of the action facts capable to act.

that continue to as Fri Dreyer also running an - by the trade associations on employer before creation of the law so feared - wave of lawsuits is failed, may well be due to the overwhelming reluctance of the discriminated to act against their discriminators and legally (which to discriminate against a vague and they conveniently denominated law also clearly relieved), it is however much more to the fact that, first, in many cases the cost of the income is not worth it (as the damages for non-recruitment, despite discrimination limited regular maximum of three Brutt-monthly payments), on the other - such as I said - the law the bar for proof of actual discrimination plenty of high places. So high in any case that under the general rules of evidence law in the employment tribunal process (because that's essential in AGG) and in "normal" civil process more friendly in terms of the defendant, that those responsible for the discrimination have is configured. If

Fri Weber seriously the view that would prevent discrimination by business education to a significant extent, it is either naive or she speaks against better knowledge. It is known in legal circles everywhere that have been made after 2006 (the creation of the AGG) All law firms about how the law - well, we call it even politely so - in the sense of the company to the effect can be "interpreted" that, while still discriminated against, but by victims of discrimination can not be effectively countered. This is a practical burden of proof would have been the sensible way, only the ruling coalition of political opportunism to the employers' associations against would not.

I tell now so nothing new when I state that in the context of an application process from the employer side is reasonable has always been to create as little as possible, which is why a certain job applicants just do not want to have. With any substantive reasons, the statement of reasons for attack, if he fails, the discriminated to prove that a certain behavior or a specific procedure has led to discrimination.
Again, as with almost all other points of contention to the CDU / CSU prevailed in the legislative process. There is not a traditional burden of proof in AGG, it may still be discriminated against in the individual rights movement (that is, whenever it is not so-called bulk business is), the legal standing of the associations is such that it can be seen in fact hardly there (a particularly red flag for me) ... the Anti-Discrimination Office (ADS; that the abbreviation is with such, known as attention deficit disorder, the same, is surely only a coincidence but it fits perfectly into the picture).
not alone, that the CDU has created for Mrs. Dr. Martina Köppen, one certainly deserved and joyous Christian man, an accommodation for at least a little over half a term that has in charge of Mrs. Dr. Köppen ADS made it to two and a half years, value for your money literally nothing to do, except make themselves known (and this in turn taxpayers' money in considerable amount "wasted"). Now, if Mr.
. Miles-Paul again speaks from the experience of success in such a way that disabled people in general appear in the laws piece of work, you can - certainly meant it maliciously, as it sounds - ask: so what? There was no special protection against discrimination in employment is already in the former SGB IX, that today - hypothetically - the right to challenge an insurance company that denies insurance degree: beautiful. In the grounds of tenancies to people with disabilities are still hardly complain (because of the barrier with regard to the individual legal agreements).

There might argue against this "jubilee" of the ladies Dreyer and Weber, and by Mr. Paul Miles-yes absolutely nothing, when the AGG because in fact - particularly for disabled people - something substantial "do" would have. But only to pay homage to the thesis that it was laudable that the law at all give, then - content - even more than poor!
