[Angela Merkel]The big story about the upcoming elections in Germany is (supposedly) that there is no story. In just a little over a year, Britain has voted to Brexit, and America has elected Donald Trump. In France, extremists on the far left and the far right took nearly half of the vote in the first round of the presidential election. In the second round, French voters coalesced around a candidate who is moderate yet shot to victory on the back of a new movement that pulverized the political landscape. Every one of these elections thus had one crucial thing in common: It represented a huge shock to the system. So it is all the more striking that the story heading into Germany’s vote on Sept. 24 seems to be one of continuity rather than change. With less than two weeks to go, it is very likely that Chancellor Angela Merkel will be re-elected for a fourth term in office. And at a time when politics seems to be downright histrionic in many parts of the world, Germany’s election campaign has felt surprisingly soporific. After the only TV debate between Merkel and her main challenger, Social Democrat Martin Schulz, a Berlin paper headlined: “0–0.” Neither of the contestants, the soccer metaphor implied, had scored any goals. Indeed, the accompanying text added, for long stretches it hadn’t even seemed as though Schulz was especially interested in beating his adversary. But it was a satirical magazine that best captured the overall feel of Merkel’s bid for re-election. With campaign spending tightly limited, German parties traditionally rely on billboards to get their messages out. On the fakes designed by _Titanic_, though, the slogan of Merkel’s party simply reads: “As if we even had to bother putting up billboards!” There are a few factors that explain why Merkel has barely had to sweat—even though establishment politicians in other Western democracies have been besieged by populist challengers from the right and left. For one thing, Germany’s economy has done comparatively well for the past decade. In light of its past, Germans may also have a deeper aversion to radical political experiments. Finally, Merkel has undoubtedly been a competent chancellor: Calm, moderate, and highly deliberate, she remains one of the world’s least divisive leaders. As George Packer, quoting the German columnist Georg Diez, wrote in the best profile of her to date, she “took the politics out of politics.” [angela merkel]Francois Lenoir/Reuters If voters are willing to put Merkel back in charge, the reason is in good part because, unlike her brash predecessor, she is minimally invasive. So it is perfectly understandable that most journalists have focused on the remarkable stability of Germany’s political system or celebrated Merkel’s imminent re-election as a healthy sign for liberal democracy. And yet, the German election campaign has been much more eventful than most foreign observers have noticed: If you scratch the surface, it quickly becomes apparent that populism is making significant inroads in Germany—and that Merkel herself is, at best, a highly imperfect defender of liberal values. For all of modern Germany’s supposed immunity from the far right, extremist parties have celebrated significant successes in local or state elections at several points in the history of the federal republic. But when general elections rolled around, these parties reliably failed to garner the 5 percent of the vote they needed to win seats. This is now likely to change. Four years ago, the far-right, anti-immigrant Alternative for Germany, or AfD, narrowly fell short of the votes it needed to enter the national parliament. Since then, it has entered 12 out of 16 state parliaments. Polling at just under 10 percent nationally, it is now virtually certain to enter the _Bundestag_—becoming the first right-wing extremist party to do so since World War II. And though the AfD likes to appear more moderate than its far-right predecessors, there can be little doubt that it is indeed extremist. This is in part a matter of policy. The party wants to take most powers back from Brussels or (failing that) leave the European Union. It wants to abolish the euro. It wants to close American Army bases. It wants to ban the burqa and abolish minarets. And of course it wants to curtail immigration and stop refugees from reaching Germany. But if the party’s proposed policies are radical, its rhetoric is even more so. Alexander Gauland, one of the party’s leaders, has called Merkel a “dictator” and suggested that Aydan Özoguz, a Social Democratic politician with roots in Turkey, should be “disposed of in Anatolia.” Meanwhile, Alice Weidel, the party’s other leader, reportedly wrote an email in which she lamented that Germany is being “overrun by foreign peoples like Arabs.” The “pigs” who govern Germany, she suggested, “are just puppets of the victors of World War II and have the task of keeping down the German people by getting so many foreigners into the country that our cities will erupt into small civil wars.” [Angela Merkel German election placard]REUTERS/Michael Dalder Even if it does better than expected, the AfD will, in the short run, have little direct influence on public policy: Germany’s mainstream parties will continue to shun it. And yet, the AfD is already setting the terms of the debate: In their only TV matchup, for example, Merkel and Schulz spent about half of their time talking about refugees, Muslim immigrants, and Germany’s relationship to Turkey. Once the AfD is represented in the Bundestag, its ability to set the agenda will only keep growing. And if the experience of other European countries is any guide, this will give people like Gauland and Weidel a big opportunity to expand their base over the coming years. Though its success so far is less spectacular than that of similar parties in other parts of the continent, it would be bizarre to see the AfD’s breakthrough as anything other than a potential turning point in Germany’s postwar history. But doesn’t it count for something that Angela Merkel can keep standing up for liberal values over the next four years? It is easy to understand why Merkel has been invested with such high hopes. In a famous photograph from the spring of 2016, Merkel is pictured standing between Barack Obama, British Prime Minister David Cameron, French President François Hollande, and Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi at a G-8 summit. All four of the others have long since left office. As the last woman standing, Merkel has quickly come to be seen as “the new leader of the free world.” But this fundamentally misunderstands both Germany’s ability and its willingness to defend liberal values around the globe. Since Merkel has always relied on coalition partners to cobble together a parliamentary majority—and will likely have to keep doing so after this election—these limitations are in part imposed by the views of her allies. Her current coalition partner, the center-left Social Democratic Party, for example, has abandoned all sense of responsibility over the course of the campaign. Gerhard Schröder, the party’s most recent chancellor, recently accepted a position on the board of Rosneft, the state-owned Russian gas giant—essentially joining the class of Russian kleptocrats. Meanwhile, Sigmar Gabriel, the current foreign secretary, joined Schröder and Vladimir Putin for a secret dinner in St. Petersburg, Russia; around the same time, he attacked the notion that Germany might one day spend 2 percent of its GDP on its military, as required by NATO, as “absurd.” To complete the trifecta, Hubertus Heil, the party’s general secretary, takes every opportunity to rail against “autocrats like Erdogan and Trump”—but remains strangely silent on Vladimir Putin. So the better her current coalition partner does, the more difficult it will prove for Merkel to hold a tough line on Russia. [merkel putin]REUTERS/Maxim Shemetov Unlike the SPD, Merkel does not harbor any illusions about the threat Putin poses. But when it comes to other key issues on which German leadership would be desperately needed in the world, she has been little better than them. For one, Merkel has been blatantly unwilling to take a principled stance on the populist strongmen who are increasingly undermining liberal democracy in neighboring countries like Hungary. Shockingly, for example, the _Fidesz_ party led by Viktor Orbán, Hungary’s increasingly autocratic leader, is still a member of the “European People’s Party,” the same grouping in the European Parliament to which Merkel’s Christian Democrats also belong. For another, Merkel has so far proved unwilling to reform the European Union in a meaningful way. While she has done just enough to stop Greece from crashing out of the eurozone, she refused to countenance the structural changes that would be needed to solve the lingering problems of the single currency. By proposing to give the eurozone a lot more freedom—including a budget and an independent finance minister—Emmanuel Macron has raised hopes that the EU might finally address its flaws. As in the past, Merkel has signaled her willingness to consider these plans. But as in the past, her deep reluctance to go beyond the realm of the immediately necessary makes it unlikely that she would allow Macron’s proposals to turn into reality. And so her lack of political vision may once again doom a valiant effort to make the euro sustainable. With Merkel set to return to the chancellery this month, Germany is, for the next four years, unlikely to slide into the kind of political crisis that is now consuming Britain and the United States. In highly turbulent times, this is something to savor—and for Germans to take pride in. But the political calm that has so widely been celebrated both within and outside Germany is rather more vulnerable than it seems. The forces of populism are rapidly rising within the country. The next government will likely find it just as difficult to promote liberal democracy, or to fix Europe’s problems, as the previous one. While the crisis is not yet imminent, discontent with the status quo goes much deeper than most observers have acknowledged. Thinking about Germany’s political situation over the past days, an old German saying has kept coming back to me: “aufgeschoben ist nicht aufgehoben”—to put something off is not to cancel it. The storm that so many people had predicted is, thank God, being postponed; but there is every reason to fear that the country’s current calm won’t hold forever.

N. KOTZIAS: In Thessaloniki, where I was, the weather was just as good as here in Skopje, which means that the same sun shines on both of us. What I want to say is that I'm pleased to be here. I am pleased that your country is emerging from the crisis, has overcome its political crisis, just as we are emerging from our economic crisis. This shows how much we have in common and why Nikola and I must be optimistic. I am pleased that, after almost exactly one year, I am again in this hall, where I had the honour of addressing your diplomats. I am even more pleased to be talking again with Nikola and continuing the conversation that we initiated in Athens, in a series of telephone calls, and at every opportunity. We are discussing the major issues we are facing, the common future of our two states. I am pleased at the very positive results we had on the Confidence-Building Measures at the meeting the day before yesterday, between the large delegations from both sides – 17 members in our delegation and 25 in yours – which shows that the relations between our two countries are developing more intensively than with almost any other neighbour. We will implement all the measures. New railway lines, new pipelines for natural gas. Cooperation between universities. Cooperation between Diplomatic Academies. We talked about the issues of energy, transport, research, police cooperation, and the security of the whole region. And we'll talk again in two months, when we have the new meeting of the four Balkan countries – your country, our country, Bulgaria and Albania – where we will discuss issues of security and economic cooperation in our wider region. I must say that I am also pleased, as the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Greece, that our policy of non-interference in your country's domestic affairs was vindicated. You will have seen that, over the past two and a half years, Greece has not issued even a single announcement on the internal affairs of our friendly northern neighbour; that Greece supported and supports, with all of its power, the stability, sovereignty and territorial integrity of our friendly northern neighbour. Your stability also fuels our stability. Our growth fuels yours. There are a lot of investments, quite a lot of trade. We can develop this more. And I was pleased to tell you, in retrospect, that Greece stood up against any thought of imposing sanctions on you in the past. We have experience of the senselessness of such issues. I want to underscore – allow me Nikola, you know this, but I will say it to the media of our two countries – Greece is unwaveringly in favour of the stability of our countries and of our relations. In favour of territorial integrity and the immutability of borders throughout the region. In favour of the sovereignty of each state in its space. And we are in favour of the Euroatlantic path of the whole of the Western Balkans. We believe deeply that the accession of the countries of the Western Balkans, and in particular of our friendly northern neighbour, to the Euroatlantic structures will make our lives easier and contribute to the development of the whole region. This path requires that we develop our relations, economic and social, and that we overcome the problems and any irredentism that exists and that creates non-existent geopolitical problems, because we do not have geopolitical problems between us, we do not have geostrategic problems. In fact, we have common interests. Irredentism often converts these common interests of ours into a struggle, a culture war, as we say in political science. And that is why the education of all of the young people in all of the countries of the region, our legislation, our symbols are very important to us, and in this direction I want to underscore again that I am pleased that the government of your country, like our government, wants to develop the Confidence-Building Measures. Why do we want these measures? First, to strengthen the relations between our two states. Second, to show our societies how close we are and why we need to develop our relations. But also for each side to come to trust the other even more. Today we are not in the era we were when I took over as Minister of Foreign Affairs, when I found a situation in which many believed that your official state wanted to expand to Larisa, and that we wanted to break you up. That is, that we were heading for the fourth Balkan war. An extreme description of issues that we both want to resolve and that we will resolve, as we have agreed, because we are both peace-loving states. We believe in international agreements, in international law. We appreciate one another and believe it is good that we are neighbours. And if we have problems once in a while, remember that there are much worse neighbours than you for us and us for you. In fact, we are lucky. Because any issues we have, we can and must resolve them with sincerity in the direction we mentioned. We have read and are following the declarations of the new government with interest. We understand that these are not easy times and that it requires courage. What we often call social courage, in order for one to overcome the problems of the past. You know my well-known and favourite phrase, and many people are using it now. That history must be a school, a guide to a positive future, and not a prison. And that's how Nikola and I see it. What's more, we share a name. You know, it is the ancient name Laonikos. 'Laos' is people, and 'niko' is the victor. The one who wins over the people. With the advent of Christianity, the name went from Laonikos to Nikolaos. And then, in Greece, we shortened it further. Nikos. So we share the same name. And that's a good sign. We agree. We see our dear northern neighbour's agreement with Bulgaria as a positive development, and we will follow it with interest. And we talked about this: Whether we can, with the same pace, resolve any issues that remain between us. And I say this once more publicly, that Greece, too, wants to help with the experience it has. We have this experience because we joined the EU early, in 1981, and we joined NATO in the 1950s. We want to help, and we will respond to any request so that the already existing course for the rule of law, for the modernization and Europeanization of our northern neighbour can be completed. We, too, will benefit. And it will bring us geographically closer to the other partners in the Euroatlantic system. I want to tell you something. An international actor asked me, 'Can you resolve your problems?' I responded that, in life, we have problems constantly, even though we know, and you know this from your personal life, that every solution to a problem may create another one, but it is more developed, progressive. It is more modern, more European, I would say in today's parlance. This is not the issue. The issue is for us to put our hand on our heart and ask ourselves whether we want the problems to be resolved. We, the governments, the societies, the citizens? From my first day as Minister of Foreign Affairs, and, as I understand it, Nikola as well, we have put our hand on our heart and want to resolve the problems to the benefit of our peoples and our states. We are two states whose relations can and must be based on our both winning, on a win-win situation. And I say this from the heart – and this is the direction I worked in – and I am talking about the solution of the problems and the promotion of the Confidence-Building Measures, the cross-border cooperation, the cooperation between all of our institutions. And in this framework, within the European Union itself, we insist on the promotion, for all of us, of a culture of compromise and consensus. This is a phrase that, to my satisfaction, has now also been adopted in European documents. It is a culture that concerns the European Union itself, the relations between states and the relations between the states within the European Union itself. I also want to say something else from my heart. Greece went through a major crisis, probably the longest post-war crisis in the world. We endured. And in spite of the crisis, Greece continues to be the most powerful country in the region. I don't say this as something good for us, but as a responsibility. The richest party has the most capacities and capabilities, and it has to meet the responsibilities deriving from this. Power is not a privilege or a right. In the world we live in, our power comes with responsibility, and from this perspective we want all of the problems to be resolved, for our good neighbour to have a course towards NATO and the European Union. We want to support your country. We will do whatever we can, because we, too, are a medium-sized country in Europe and a small country in the world. We don't have huge capacities, but we want to use the capacities we have to the benefit of our neighbours as well. Our European experience and the experience we have with security issues. And we also have things to learn. The people of the country I am in today – and I thank you for the invitation – are a proud people. A people shaping their characteristics, a people who, whatever we may say in our day-to-day lives, also love our country. Each resident of this country comes to Greece an average of two and a half times a year, comes to Greece for holidays. And this is why I will say something that we discussed once in a public debate here in the Balkans. We have a little craziness and a little absurdity. There are countries that awaken to the music of the other country, we move to this music a little, trying to wake up, and then we curse this country. Then we leave our homes, we eat something, like breakfast, from this country, and then we say, "Wow, what a great country this is!". Then we go to work, we go out for a meal in the afternoon, and afterwards we say, "we are the good guys, we are older, we have this and that ...". Crazy and absurd! This is normal in life. Because in personal life or in the life of states, is there not absurdity and craziness? But deep in our hearts, if we want to be honest, we love each other and we like going to the Greek islands or to Halkidiki. I hope the road gets finished – a Greek company is also to blame – and that all of these people coming from northern Europe come to you as well as to us. Deep in our hearts, we sometimes love. Love is also a little difficult, and we are tyrannized without reason. So, to create even more trust, to resolve our problems creatively, to strike down any irredentism, which, rather than dancing in the morning to our common music and enjoying the many cultural elements we share – food and so on – grumbles and complains. It isn't just a political expression, it is an expression of life. And so as not to take that path, I will take the path of thanking Nikola for the invitation, and I also thank him for the good talks we are having and for the good talks we will have in the future. I thank him for the hospitality, and I thank all of you for the great interest you always show in how my country thinks as well, how we discuss things with your country. I think that the future belongs to our cooperation, and we have to have the courage and boldness to overcome whatever absurdity or grumbling is holding us back and let our love find expression. It is good for peoples to love each other and resolve their problems and not be inhibited. What I want to say is, irredentism is not the only thing in life. There are also beautiful sentiments, and in day-to-day life there are beautiful sentiments between our peoples. We have to foster these sentiments and strike down irredentism. Thank you very much. JOURNALIST: You said that Greece is interested in stability in the Balkans, and you asked the government in Skopje to show courage. Is there courage in Greece for supporting fYROM's accession to NATO, or for moving ahead on the resolution of the name issue? N. KOTZIAS: Thank you for the question. Greece supports the Euroatlantic path of the whole of the Balkans. The countries of the Balkans became candidate countries at the Thessaloniki Summit. For a number of countries in the region that are NATO members, this happened under the Greek Presidency. So we don't need to prove our courage. And I say that we don't need to prove our courage because this is part of our policy, and we don't do it just for others. We do it because we believe it is the right thing for Europe and we believe it is the right thing for the future of our country. For decades, we were the only NATO and EU member state in the region. This wasn't in our interest either, because it set us apart, cut us off from the other countries. As regards our neighbour's European path, we want to support it with the experts we have and, if and when it is requested of us, pass on and transfer our experience and expertise. Our experience and knowledge concern not just positive things. They also concerns our weaknesses: things we do that others shouldn't do. With regard to NATO, there are the Bucharest decisions, and through these decisions and their implementation, this country will become a NATO member. How these NATO decisions are implemented is not up to us. It is up to those who must decide. We want this dear northern neighbour to be in both NATO and the European Union. But we want this based on the rules and conditions of the European Union and NATO. And as I realise that there are sometimes highly charged feelings on such issues, at the last informal meeting of the Council of Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the European Union, in Malta, we talked extensively about Turkey, with the Europeans vacillating as to whether or not they want Turkey, and I said one thing: Turkey will decide whether or not it wants to be European. If Turkey wants to be European, it will become a member state of the European Union. If Turkey doesn't want to be European, what can we do? It's Turkey's decision. This holds true for every country. I think that in this country, where I am today, there is a European leadership and a European will, and, by extension, a European perspective. But part of the European perspective is respect for the rules and conditions and decisions of NATO and the European Union. It's not up to me.
