Angela Markel: Germany 1st woman chancellor
Tuesday, November 22nd, 2005 | 7:00 pm @ SK
At last, Conservative Christian Democrats (CDU) Angela Merkel has been elected as the Germany’s 1st woman chancellor, in the Bundestag lower house of parliament.
However, she needs to pay the price of being a chancellor, through bargaining away of her key campaing pledges such as limiting union power in regional wage negotiations and accepted a center-left Social Democrats (SPD) demand for a "rich tax" on top earners.
Bush must be overjoy with her appointment, due to her foreign policy stance which is more to pro-US, compared to her predecessor Gerhard Schroeder.
And now, the attention will be on this question: Can Merkel lasted a full four-years term?
