Germany is facing state elections in Bavaria and Hesse and these elections could prove to be decisive in terms of the survival or failure of Angela Merkel as German Chancellor and more than that could lead to a dramatic political change in the political map of Germany.
In a country in which coal still reigns supreme, not even a report by the Organisation of the United Nations could make Germany change course. Germany's heavy industries including car manufacturing are essential and Germany must get its priorities right. Deals with the Russian Federation and with Iran are essential because Germany needs energy. Without oil and gas, Germany will have to rely even more on coal and even go back to nuclear energy.
When both National and Foreign Policies are shaped up by Germany's energy needs, energy becomes even more critically important because lack of energy will mean a dramatic political change and strengthen political parties like Alternative für Deutschland and NPD.
Despite their credentials, political parties like SPD and the Greens know the danger financial difficulties can lead to in a country like Germany. More and more Germans no longer trust the mass media and therefore German mass media are becoming less and less effective to propagate the messages that say that 'everything is fine' because everything is not fine.
Germans are tired of being the victims of Angela Merkel's criminal immigration policies. Germans don't want to leave in fear because of Angela Merkel's policies. Angela Merkel knows very well that a financial mess on top of the immigration mess could be fatal.
