Hello guys! Ready to learn or see again about German geopolitic situation? 

 In Germany, the Chancellor have all the power and is the chief of the Government. He is not elected directly by the population as in France or USA for instance but often by a coalition of several parties when not any party has the majority in the “Bundestag”. This parties are represented in the “Bundestag”, which is the German Parliament and the more powerful party from this coalition choose a Chancellor.  Nowadays, Angela Merkel is the German Chancellor. She was the leader of the CDU and she has been elected in 2005 with a coalition CDU/CSU. Angela Merkel has been reelected in 2009 and 2013 with the same coalition CDU/CSU. Currently, there is a coalition even bigger with the CDU, CSU and SPD which is the party of the former Chancellor Gerhard Schröder.  

The President of Germany named Joachim Gauck doesn’t have a real political power however he is an important moral person who promulgate laws and sign treaties. He doesn’t belong to a party so he is considered as a neutral politician.

German population is mainly peaceful because of German past (Nazi regime) and the Bundestag should often give his authorization for a military intervention. However, German army named „die Bundeswehr“ is present in several countries in the world to help the OTAN action and also to protect his expatriated citizens. Several years ago, Germany put some soldiers and missiles at the border between Syria and Turkey to avoid Syrian attacks. “Die Bundeswehr” has also soldiers in war areas as Mali for example and was in Afghanistan just few months ago to fight against the Taliban’s regime.

Nowadays, German army is concerned by the Ukrainian problem and try to find solutions of peace with the European community.Germany is dependent of Russia for the deliveries of gas and oil so Angela Merkel has to be tactful with our friendly Vladimir Putin!  

After a summary of German political system and military missions, we have to see a particular place very famous for everyone J

Mosbach is a town located in the State of Baden-Württemberg (south-west of Germany). The third largest state of Germany is governed by a coalition of Green and SPD parties.Baden Württemberg is divided in four Administrative districts named Freiburg, Stuttgart, Karlsruhe and Tubingen. Stuttgart is the capital city of Baden Württemberg and the 6^th biggest city of Germany with more than 600 000 inhabitants. 

Many cities in this State use the river named “Neckar” like Mosbach-Neckarelz or Neckarsulm for example. Baden Württemberg has borders with several countries as Switzerland and France but also with internal State as Bavaria, Hesse and Rhénanie-Palatinat. Baden Württemberg is a wealthy state with a very high level of employment due to big companies factories and headquarters as Porsche, Mercedes-Benz for instance.

In Mosbach and in the area around there are a lot of Croatian and Portuguese people because of the need of workers after the second world war. But this nationalities are not the more represented in Germany.

In Germany, there are more than 3 million of Turkish people who arrived in the sixties and years after to find some jobs. Turkish people who immigrate in Germany are often not considered as German in Germany and also as Turkish in Turkey so it’s a difficult situation for them. There are some tensions between Turkish and neo-Nazis in Germany because of the Muslim religion of Turkish people. Nevertheless, most of Turkish people are well integrated in their new country particularly the last generation. Many German people with Turkish origins have succeed in Germany like the famous soccer player Mesut Özil and other businessmen.

Germany is touched by another internal problem like many countries in Occident which is more serious. Some of German citizens go fighting to Syria or Iraq with the Islamic State and after come back to Germany. With this trip back there are some dangers of terrorists’ attacks because of the radicalization and the military training in Middle-East. We can consider this fact of a main tension because Muslim community is threatened by extremism and racism acts after terrorists attacks. To avoid this main problem, German government would like to forbid German nationality to this fighters by taking their ID card.
