Markus Söder’s crumbling empire

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 02:24:32 GMT

ROTH, Germany — Michaela Wild believes it’s time for a change.Standing behind the counter of the café where she works in this small town in northern Bavaria, the 48-year-old barista said she’s tired of the economic malaise that has gripped her area.Local stores had shut down or left town of late, and cutbacks at a nearby air force base hadn’t helped local business. Wild had a sense perhaps her area’s best economic days were behind it.This was one reason, she said, she and many people had just about had enough of mainstream parties, including the Christian Social Union (CSU), the conservative party that has ruled Bavaria — but for a relatively short interruption — since the end of World War II.On Sunday, Wild and others who share her views will have a chance to voice their dissatisfaction as the states of Bavaria and Hesse hold parliamentary elections, which have become a bellwether of the national mood, at a particularly volatile moment in Germany’s history.Wild said some people clo...

Disorder! The (occasionally) eventful life of a parliamentary speaker

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 02:24:32 GMT

Welcome to Declassified, a weekly humor column.Most kids dream of growing up and being an astronaut, an international sporting superstar, or doing the accounts for a midsized company that makes ink cartridges for printers. No one wants to be the speaker of a parliament. And yet these supposed keepers of order and schedule keep on making the news. Sometimes that’s a good thing (Canada’s House of Commons has just elected its first Black speaker, Liberal MP Greg Fergus) and sometimes it’s not, as just happened in the U.S.As you will have seen, House of Representatives Speaker Kevin McCarthy was toppled in a right-wing revolt because of his reliance on Democrats to pass funding to avert a government shutdown.That revolt was led by pompadoured Florida Republican member of Congress Matt Gaetz, who looks like if you asked a 6-year-old to draw the bad guy in a superhero comic. In the U.K. in the 1980s, French cookware brand Tefal’s TV adverts featured boffins wi...
