a CSU man, and the Greek leader of the opposition, Kyriakos Mitsotakis in Seeon welcome, would have been weeks ago would be unthinkable. Read more about the new good friend from Athens.

Seeon – ” you ” demonstratively in front of the cameras, smile. It was at the time, says Alexander Dobrindt, the love Kyriakos take over the government, the cooperation was excellent. And the guest sounds, “joy” ready for him to be here.

a CSU man, and the Greek leader of the opposition, Kyriakos Mitsotakis in Seeon welcome, not long to be expected. The history: in 2012, had been placed near Dobrindt to the Gentiles, nor to the rapid exit from the Euro. It’ll lead to “no way” to rehabilitate the country outside the Euro-Zone. He taught the Greeks, the Eurozone, “no hammock club”. Markus Söder, the then Minister, requested to make an example of the Greeks, “an example”. In Athens were spread beard of media and private individuals in the following photo montages of Union politicians, with the swastikas and Hitler.

As the times change. Now the Greek is the highest honor guest at a CSU retreat. Of Euro out of the litter no more talk. The Greeks have hatched out a few weeks ago, under the rescue umbrella, have recently submitted their first budget without any auxiliary programs. Still the situation is tense in the country, 300 000 skilled workers have emigrated, almost one in five Greeks is unemployed, incomes are dramatically shrunk, the state debt continues to be extremely high. Economic growth, 2.5 percent, but gives rise to hope.

“It’s time to leave Stereotypes behind,” says Mitsotakis in the Seeoner evening sky, as he is asked for the hammock. “Let us talk about the future.” Greece was not the case for the German taxpayer, but for a common economic and security policy.

(Here you will get to the news Ticker for the CSU-meeting in Seeon.)

Actually, the CSU now Mitsotakis – Söder visited him in Athens, Dobrindt met him in 2018 even three Times. Also, Chancellor Angela Merkel keeps in touch, visits Mitsotakis next week as the official point of your Athens trip. The conservative leader of the opposition could overthrow the elections in 2019 (at the latest in September, more likely earlier), the Tsipras government made part of the radical left – and right-wing populists.

polls speak for him, around ten points ahead of his party “Nea Dimokratia”. And, be careful, the 50-Year-old meets the dynastic Thinking in Greek politics: Mitsotakis, the son of a Prime Minister, great-nephew of another, brother of the former Athens mayor and foreign Minister Dora Bako Gianni (64) is expressed.

The CSU presented the 50-Year-old friendly, sober, moderate. He can sorry for English, German, perfect. A further change in his country, he promises new Jobs and a more reliable hand of the Migration as under Tsipras. Mitsotakis is also an early and clear supporters of CSU Deputy Manfred Weber on his way to the President of the European Commission. “Incredibly happy,” whether it’s about his candidacy.

The CSU with the guest is also a Signal for the European elections in may: she drives a Pro-European course is clear from the AfD. This is quite in Weber’s sense, but also Söders default, to steer clear of currently unnecessary conflicts. “Dispute paralyzes, the dispute is boring, dispute sucks,” says Söder. The CSU wants to make an example of Mitsotakis an example.
