Elections Hunting the undecided voter in Germany on social media
Chancellor Angela Merkel has asked voters that this Sunday they will mark at the polls the beginning of an era without her to vote with Germany's stability in mind.
"What is at stake tomorrow is the future of the country and its stability,"
said the foreign minister at the last electoral rally of her party's candidate,
Armin Laschet
.
Merkel has not been especially active during the electoral campaign but she has been involved in the final stretch because
"it does not matter who to vote for," she
warned at a ceremony in Aachen, Laschet's hometown, in the federal state of North Rhine- Westfalia and of which the candidate is minister president.
The Chancellor affirmed that
"what it is about tomorrow is that Germany remains stable"
and that is only possible with a victory of the conservative bloc formed by the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and the Bavarian Social Christian Union (CSU).
"It is about your future, the future of your children and the future of your parents
. You only have the opportunity to decide at the federal level who should shape that future, do not waste it," stressed the chancellor.
Merkel recalled that Laschet not only successfully led the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia as regional prime minister, but also
did much for the unification of Europe.
He added that Laschet's style is characterized by "building bridges" and that throughout his political career he has shown that he
defends cohesion and solidarity
not only theoretically, "but with passion and heart."
But being a good man and upholding great ideals is not a safe conduct to power.
Laschet remains in second place in the polls
, although he has managed to put himself just one point behind the Social Democratic Party (SPD) this last week and that has increased the motivation and hope of the conservatives.
All options are open.
In the event of a victory for the SPD, its candidate,
Olaf Scholz
, has already advanced that he will enter into negotiations with Los Verdes.
Even so, it will need a third party to reach a parliamentary majority and Scholz has not ruled out that it could be Die Linke (Left).
The course set by Merkel in the four legislatures that she has been in power
would radically change with that tripartite
.
This is the scenario that, according to Merkel and Laschet at their last rally, "must be avoided."
