Steinmeier resignation

January 27 2017 51

The post of German Foreign Minister left Frank-Walter Steinmeier today. The decision on his resignation was made by the President of Germany Joachim Gauk. Reported by the German press. Today, the powers of the German foreign minister are transferred to the ex-minister of economics, head of the German Social Democrats (SPD), Sigmar Gabriel. The handover ceremony from Steinmeier to Gabriel was held at Bellevue Castle, where the residence of the President of Germany is located.

Joachim Gauk thanked Steinmeier for serving as Minister of Foreign Affairs and added that his political experience "may be useful to him in another direction of activity." Earlier in the German press it was reported that Frank-Walter Steinmeier could be nominated for the post of German chancellor. More likely his transition to the presidency.

Recall that Steinmeier recently called Donald Trump's coming to power in the United States "the real end of the 20th century," adding that the world "is in for tremendous changes." On the eve, Steinmeier said that Russia's position in the global world had strengthened and “from the point of view of Russian interests such gain is beneficial.” At the same time, Steinmeier said that Russia "cannot achieve its goals in Syria solely by military force."

For reference: Frank-Walter Steinmeier served as German Foreign Minister twice: from 2005 to 2009 and from 2013 to 2017.

    It should be noted that the Federal Assembly elects the president of Germany according to the results of parliamentary elections, if the SPD and the CDU fly by and nothing shines for him ... Yes, and the president is a nominal position, he practically does not solve anything, he only nominates and approves the posts .. .

    And who is the president in Germany? None. Something like the Queen of Britain.

  Why did they run? This is castling. Let's be realistic, Steinmeier did not make sharp attacks in the direction of Russia. Yes, he bent the policy of Germany. Well, this is all politics, and he is not stupid and he will find his place.

  He didn’t run anywhere. It will simply make its way to the chancellor instead of Merkelikha, who is losing her political weight at the speed of a meteorite. This, of course, is also a muddy comrade, but with a general change in the course of US foreign policy, he will accept their rules of the game, which will still be implemented not in the interests of Germany, but in the interests of the USA. There Sarah Liebenknecht would be chancellors, so she would make a rustle, in tandem with Marina LePen (another).

      German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier officially became a candidate for the post of President of Germany, writes Spiegel. His candidacy was introduced by German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
      
      “I am happy because I am convinced that Frank-Walter Steinmeier is a suitable candidate at this time,” Merkel said.

  Trump has prepared a document on the lifting of some sanctions against Russia ... apparently he wants so much to commit a certain act of goodwill, but I doubt very much that it’s free. And Europe is being prepared for change. And grandmother Merkel, as far as I understand, is serving the last term and will retire of her own free will.

This is unlikely. He is a technocrat, not a leader. He is a bit like Lavrov. But Russophobe, though not stubborn.
