Outgoing President Joachim Gauck warned in a talk on Wednesday that his countrys democracy is at risk amid major international shifts, including Donald Trump becoming US President on Friday.
Gauck gave a speech to about 200 guests at the presidential residence of Bellevue Palace, looking back at his five years of serving as Germanys head of state.
Now, after five years, I am more strongly affected by the awareness that democratic and stable Germany is also in danger, he said. [ ]
Gauck specifically named the crisis in the European Union with the United Kingdoms impending departure, as well as conflicts in the Middle East and between Ukraine and Russia. These events have it clear that German and European foreign policies offer limited possibilities for taking action, he said. The threat of extreme Islamist terrorism has also grown.
And Trumps election as US President has also presented new challenges for international order, Gauck added.

A few more million Africans will solve all your problems Herr President.
>>And why is Trump suddenly to blame for Germanys problems? Mehr gefälschte nachrichten.<<
More importantly, how is decreasing the influence of people NOT IN YOUR COUNTRY anything but GOOD for democracy?
And gesundheit.
Exactly. What is the connection with the election of Donald J Trump to the POTUS position - with regards to Germany’s democracy?
The fact is that all democracies in western countries are safer with Donald Trump assuming the office of the President. Obama was absolutely a zero as a leader, and he did not care one iota whether we continued as a democracy or whether any of the Christian nations of Europe remained free and Christian.
Obama only showed emotion when his pals in the mosques were anxious over the backlash from a terrorist attack by a Muslim. Then he would go into a offensive posture and hark back about 900 years to King Louis IX and his Crusade to the Holyland. I am surprised that Obama never cursed el Cid.
‘democracy is at risk amid major international shifts’
These elitists are telling us exactly what they think a democracy is. A democracy to them is Merkle throwing open the gates for all to come in. Democracy to them is OBama/Pelosi passing it so WE can find out what is in it. Democracy to them is Britain having no say whether to stay or go from the EU. It is that simple.
Talk to Reichskanlerin Merkel about that...
“as well as conflicts in the Middle East and between Ukraine and Russia. These events have it clear that German and European foreign policies offer limited possibilities for taking action,”
Germany.... you have done more than enough for Russia and Ukraine. Thanks.
Reichskanzlerin... Tiny keyboard, fat fingers.
Obama is the one who thought he was elected president of the world.
Obama is the one who went to Germany to campaign for president in 2008.
Obama is the one the Germans were cheering and crowning with roses and ladies underpants as if he came to Germany to be their new Fuhrer.
Trump is the one who believes in being president of the USA, not Germany and not the world.
We brought in around 420k African slaves over a 200+ year period. That has become around 40 million African Americans today. Just as an example.
What is the effect of this Million plus, in one year, in a nation with 25% of the population of America? Germany has been destroyed. If cannot be fixed. They just don’t know it yet.
The German mind has turned its genocidal hatred towards white people and their own culture. But the mentality is alive and well.
“Democracy” means rule by the people. Apparently, only the Elite are considered people, and the rest of us, something less.
I’ve talked to Germans over there (live south of Berlin part of the year). Some of the idiot liberals actually believe Germany can turn all these Africans and Muslims in to tax payers to fund their retirement and medical system. “If there is one nation that can do it it is Germany.”
The New York hipsters that infest down town Berlin love it because they don’t have to deal with them.
The rest of the people are furious. When the German revolution starts it’s going to be in the small towns.
I think its just too late. They simply do not have the stomach to evict Angela’s millions. They are there to stay, they will breed like flies, never assimilate, and create more and more problems requiring more and more repression.
And the Germans will love it, because there is nothing they love more than lamenting their struggles. Goes back to the Sorrows of Young Werther. Dueling scars. Even in the Holocaust, they continually lamented the difficulty of their work and how they were shouldering such tough duty. Then for reasons they never fully understood, the Russians invaded, destroyed Berlin and raped all the women.
Germans wallow in misery, they secretly enjoy it. Even their porn is very odd and disturbing, probably only exceeded in weirdness by Japan.
Because obviously it is Trump who invited an army of rapefugees to Germany to destroy that nation.
If Germany is too stupid to see that a certain religion is their problem, then they are going to get their just deserts.
Funny how they tried to eliminate a religion full of achievers, and now they’ve got a religion of beheaders.
