Germany, Merkel is knocking at the administrative, command Greens in Baden-Wuerttenberg

The first exit polls draw a heavy defeat by the majority coalition led by Chancellor Merkel in Baden-Wuerttenberg Amgela where the Greens would get 25% and the SPD Social Democrats 23.5% against 38% of the CDU and only 5 % of the liberals (FDP) Guido Westerwelle. For the CDU German Chancellor Angela Merkel, today was a historic defeat where the party is in power from 1953 (with an absolute majority from 1972 to 1988).

For Merkel is the second major setback this year, after that the city of Hamburg-Land (North), where it was crushed by the SPD (21.9% vs. 48.9%) on February 20. And last May, Merkel had already lost the North Rhine-Westphalia, with the majority in the Bundesrat, the upper house of regional representatives.

The debacle of today in Baden-Wuerttemberg further weakens the coalition (CDU / CSU, FDP) in the Bundesrat, as the majority loses six seats out of 69, descending at an altitude of 25. The CDU held instead in the Rhineland, where the Social Democrats should be sweeping the advance of the Greens.

The party of Chancellor Merkel is still growing slightly again in opposition, as in the last 17 years. This results from the polls out of Rhineland-Palatinate, where the governor's SPD Kurt Beck falls by 10 percentage points from 45.6 to 35.2%, losing an absolute majority, but remaining before the first party the CDU, which increases slightly its ratings from 32.8 to 34.2%.

Resoundingly in Mainz, Germany by the Greens, almost quadruple the ratings going from 4.6 to 14.8%, the catastrophic result for the Liberals to Westerwelle collapsing from 8 to 4% and remain out of Parliament. For the next five years will be in the Rhineland-Palatinate ruled by a red-green coalition led by Social Democrats.
