HAMBURG, Germany – German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union (CDU) has ruled the 71-year-old Federal Republic for a total of 50 years. When she steps down next fall after 16 years in office, it is safe to assume that another Christian Democrat will succeed her. Who will it be?
Within the next few weeks, the CDU will hold its 33rd party convention, and choose a new leader. Whoever it is will most likely be anointed as the CDU’s candidate for chancellor when Merkel steps down, and there is little doubt that the CDU will come out on top in next September’s general election, whereupon it will take the lead in forming the next government.
Israeli drones leased to Germany to remain unarmed
Due to opposition from the SDP on moral grounds, Israel Aerospace s Heron-TP UAVs will not be armed with missiles, for the time being.
The German army will not arm the advanced Heron-TP drones (unmanned aerial vehicles - UAVs) that it is leasing from Israel with missiles due to opposition from ruling coalition partner the Social Democratic Party (SPD). A vote in the German parliament on whether to arm the Israeli-made UAVs has been postponed with no new date set because of the SDP s opposition. The SDP opposes arming the drones with missiles for moral reasons because it distances the battlefield from fighters and may cause, a light hand on the trigger.
