1. In a strange case of putting internal party procedures over electoral strategy, the @CDU and @Die_Gruenen have both nominated chancellor candidates with little national profile and Berlin experience.

2. As it looks now, the next German chancellor - with an already now sharp national profile as current minister of finance - may well be from the @spdde. As a former @FESonline scholar, I am happy for the social democrats, as a whole.
3. Yet, I am also worried that some surprisingly unprincipled and corrupt elements in the party may, as a result of the @_Bundestagswahl this month, get into a position to determine Germany's future Eastern policies. 
4. The idea that the currently neo-imperial and state-monopolistic #Kremlin will via #Bundeskanzler a. D. #GerhardSchröder & Co. co-shape Berlin's future #Ostpolitik fills probably not only me with horror.
