Politics of
Germany aren’t very difficult, if you are a genius in this aspect. I’ve seen
the most important things in my secondary school, of course at the German
lessons. I had a great teacher, who gives her lessons very well. I have still
some things I remember from the secondary school, that I will tell you soon and
what you don’t have to forget. I’m not that person who is interested in
politics, but the politic in Germany isn’t difficult to understand.
Angela Merkel
During our
visit, we arranged a meeting with Angela Merkel, party CDU/CSU. She told us a
brief summary of the politics in Germany. I found it very interesting to hear
this information from a member of the politics. She told the following
information:
“The
country is divided.. How? The Federal Republic of Germany is divided into
sixteen states. Most frequently, the former area of East Germany is referred to
as the new states and the western part as the old states. The Federal
Chancellor is the head of government in Germany, which is equivalent to Prime
Minister in parliamentary government systems. I (Angela Merkel) was the first
female German Chancellor who was elected in 2005.
The
different political parties are:
-
the
Christian Democratic Union (CDU)
-
Christian
Social Union(CSU)
-
the
Free Democratic Party, the Liberals(FDP)
-
the
Party of Democratic Socialism(PDS)
-
the
Social Democratic Party(SDP)
Germany is
a federal parliamentary republic. As you already know, there are three judicial
powers in politics. The first one is the legislative power, which is vested in
the parliament of Germany ( Bundestag) and the representative body of the
Länder(Bundesrat).There is a multi-party system that has been dominated by the
Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and the Social Democratic Party of Germany
(SPD). The judiciary of Germany is independent of the executive and the
legislature.
A German
federal election will be held on 22 September 2013 to determine the 598 members
of the 18th parliament of Germany, the main federal legislative house of Germany.
So
if you want to be there, take your car and join the election!

When we heard that there were sixteen states, I found it a lot, even for a country like Germany. Angela Merkel was very kind and she responded as correct as possible to all our questions.
