Strobele brings first grunes direct mandate of history
The choice poster of the candidate Strobele — a hidden object of the comic drawner Gerhard Seyfried — had caused a sensation, not only in the tourist shops under the linden, where it as "typical" Berlin Poster Founded sales, but also in the Federal Center of the Party: "Strobele elections are called Fischer Qualen" Was small, but obvious as a saying of a colorful Seyfried demo to read — and the party tops were "not amused". At least since Sunday evening you will be the outward in your rows but no longer Bose — the first gruner of history Christian Strobele in Kreuzberg-Friedrichshain brought a direct mandate.
The party had failed the 63-year-old lawyer and old-ended Kampen of the Greats a secure list of lists — he had held up to a perfect green principles in the past four years and refused the approval for example in the question of Kosovo war. There was nothing that he had made himself a name as an upright, incorrect politician as chairman in the Cabbage Committee in the Cabbage Committee — the party sent him to a hopeless race with the refusal of a secure list court at the beginning of the year.
At the last federal election Strobele had landed significantly behind the SPD candidate in the former West Berlin district of Kreuzberg, this time he became even fewer opportunities for him because of the merger of constituency with Friedrichshain — a PDS high castle -. But at 36.5%, he held the SPD competitor, Deputy Chairman Andreas Mattae (31, 5%), with surprisingly coarse advantage.
That he, with minimal budget, the most popular and poppy election poster immerse yourself — but it can not have it. Also the tricycle-like solarmobil and the politically correct hemp jeans, into which the total-abstinenceler strobele on election campaign swung to distribute his flyers in the pubs and cafes of the scene district, can not have given the rash. Maybe that mixture "Basic essentials and pragmatism", The coarse chairman Joschka Fischer in his thank-on speech at the electoral party in Berlin’s Tempodrom called the crucial moment of the great success.
Strobele himself could not attend the festival after he had injured a member of the right-wing radical scene with an iron bar on Friday and he had to cancel all other appointments. But the headaches become the former RAF craft defense and coariator "taz" In view of this free movement — in view of the foreseeable tight projection for red-grun, his weight in the green faction is still climbing. And as I know Strobele since 20 years, he becomes his basic rates "Anti-imperialism" and domestic political "Burger" named, stand — and elicit the pragmatism Joschka some quaint worries.
But it’s ok like that. Grununen not only owe the gain to their abandonment, but also their abnormalities — and therefore, a majority from the center of the capital has sent this incorrect lawyer to parliament. Sometimes you can find yourself as Kreuzberger just as in small bonum…
