Friedrich Mirz has a difficult job as a German advisor. It has become more strict.

Friedrich Mirz concert won National elections in Germany In late February. Weeks after the coalition negotiations, Mr. Mirz recently arrived at the Counselor’s office late on Tuesday afternoon, and one of the parliamentary votes failed Several hours behind the schedule.

Meanwhile, all the problems of Mr. Mirz increases.

Expectations of the suspended German economy, which Mr. Mirz promised To start jumping, President Trump’s tariff and commercial war retreated. Relations with Mr. Trump’s administration remain in the battle.

The extreme right -wing political party that a lot Mr. Trump team It seems to be in favor ofAn alternative to Germany, or AFD, has even withdrawn with Christian Democrats at the Mr. Mirz Center in most opinion polls. If the national elections were held again on Sunday, then AFD may have come first, although German intelligence has officially He announced that it is an extremist group.

Tuesday brought the largest setback so far. Mr. Mirz failed to secure the votes to become a first voting consultant in Parliament. About 18 members of his ruling alliance rejected his support. It was the first for modern Germany and a bruise for Mr. Mirz, although he returned to win the job in a second afternoon vote.

Mr. Mirz has already faced tall twin tasks as a consultant. Europe and the world must show that Germany is ready to take over a non -joint leadership role since then The height of the former chancellor Angela Merkel More than a decade ago. He must also convince the German audience who is frustrated by the usual policy in the field of business that the main parties can provide the required change.

The failure of the first ball on Tuesday in both tasks is more difficult. At home, stumbling is a reminder that Mr. Mirz’s alliance does not get an overwhelming majority in Parliament and that his agenda can come out through a few splits on the main legislation.

Mr. Mirz hopes to tighten Germany’s borders and confront his immigration policies to respond to voters’ concern about millions of newcomers in the country. He wants to reduce regulations and modernize bureaucracy in the hope that it will raise economic growth. Germany’s economy shrunk last year, and it did not grow in terms of inflation for half a decade.

The new advisor must also issue legislation to spend newly borrowed money, improving infrastructure and initiatives to combat climate change. All initiatives were approved in The deal that it cut with the central left parties In a lame session for parliament after the elections, but it has not yet been transferred to the law.

But Mr. Mirz’s allies now have increasing doubts about his ability to expel vote to pass the bills. Successful support for the debt deal in March. But in January, Try to pass a draft law for immigration before the elections By partially relying on AFD sounds, breaking German political taboos – lost.

Foreign leaders may ask about the amount of his agenda, which Mr. Mirz will be able to pay and perhaps the time that his government will continue. Spending legislation in particular on European partners, Those looking to Germany To drive the road, as the continent bears a greater responsibility for its defense in the face of Mr. Trump threats To decline American support. Mr. Mirz was appointed to spend his first full day to work on Wednesday to travel to Paris and Warsou.

Mr. Trump may now see the weakness of Mr. Mirz, which holds the efforts of the new advisor to criticize Washington and economic policies while developing a personal relationship with the American president.

It seems that concerns about these shiny tremors have defeated the members of the coalition of Mr. Mirz, including the Social Democrats in the legs, to the line on Tuesday afternoon. He got 15 mornings votes.

Some legislators were uniquely suggested that the initial splits were intended by personal protests – Mr. Mirz had returned members through his alliance with politics options since the elections – but it was not supposed to prevent him from winning. Perhaps they suggested that embarrassment will guarantee more unity in the future.

But the events also encouraged AFD. In the opposition, its function is easier than Mr. Mirz: it tends to a functional defect, blame the current government and advance its popular agenda as the only option to change in a country that is tired of the current situation.

““This government begins with extreme instability,” Burnd Bauman, AFD representative, said in a speech shortly before the second parliamentary vote on Tuesday. This is the opposite of what Germany needs. “

Mr. Mirz knows that solving problems like economy is the best hope for AFD. Opinion polls show that it is not popular with voters, who, as in many democracies around the world, have been disappointed by political elites for a long time.

If Mr. Mirz needed additional evidence of this, he could have read it on Tuesday morning in the Berliner Morgpost newspaper, hours before the first vote.

“Fredrich Mirz the Great”, read the main title, “but there is no euphoria in Germany.”
