Merkel experienced uncomfortable evening at the base
The sound of the old man at the microphone sounds quite calm, his words are sharply sharp. "Federal Chancellor, step back," demands Ulrich Sauer from Karlsruhe and looks up to the CDU chairman, who is sitting on the podium in the Heidelberg Stadthalle before him.
In the refugee crisis, the chancellor had failed and experienced a "German-speaking madness". But while the CDU representatives from the state associations of Saarland, Rhineland-Palatinate, Baden-Wurttemberg and Hesse are already provoking unrest and indignation, the chancellor remains stoically calm.
Thomas Strobl, the head of the state of Baden-Württemberg, also expressly asks hosts to let the man talk. Only when the Merkel then also accuses, she is probably the rape of a woman in Heilbronn indifferent, she looks down and must swallow.
The second regional conference is experiencing its emotional climax when the little one wants to shake the Chancellor's hand, she comes from the stage - and Edris then comes to tears with excitement.
And to Mr. Sauer, she once again describes very calmly why she acted in 2015. "I owe you to tell me what I think," she adds. Apart from that, she only receives friendly words and support as in Neumünster.
For weeks, Merkel has warned her party point that it is crucial to the tone in order to prevent the polarization from the right and left outside. "I do not want this sort of election campaign," she emphasizes, referring to the hate-filled US presidential election campaign, and in Heidelberg he receives a great deal of applause.
For she herself has just begun to eradicate her language, often criticized as technocratic, for the election campaign. Already at the first regional conference in Neumünster, Merkel had apologized for the fact that the word "disruptive" she used to be often "elitist". "We are sometimes too much to be sacrificed," she admits in self-criticism in Heidelberg.
But going to the base means for politicians today, not only the Sauers, but also egocentrists to endure. In Heidelberg, for example, many questions revolve around matters such as pension, Europe, or the law of participation. But the first questioner places the organizers on a hard rehearsal, because he only requires four minutes at the desk and then several times rest.
Strobl lets the man who calls himself the "German Donald Trump" - and whose main message is that CDU pins really fit "for every clothing".

| Angela Merkel had to put a lot of wind up at the CDU regional conference. |
Tears of excitement
But the CDU chairman had probably already guessed that the usual regional arrangements before the CDU federal part-session next week would not be an easy exercise. It is like a comfort to her that immediately after Sauer, a Konrad Reuters from Illingen speaks like the counter-draft to his former speaker: He praises as a volunteer not only the refugee policy of the chancellor, but also brought the small Edris from Afghanistan , Who thanks Merkel in German.The second regional conference is experiencing its emotional climax when the little one wants to shake the Chancellor's hand, she comes from the stage - and Edris then comes to tears with excitement.
"I owe it to you"
This solves the previously tense atmosphere in the hall and Merkel transforms the attack against them into an experience experience Volksspartei. "With Mr. Sauer and Mr. Reuters, you have seen the entire range that is discussed in our families and society," she told the audience.And to Mr. Sauer, she once again describes very calmly why she acted in 2015. "I owe you to tell me what I think," she adds. Apart from that, she only receives friendly words and support as in Neumünster.
"This will not be a cuddly election fight"
Ultimately, the evening in Heidelberg looks like a symbol of what you and probably all parties in the Bundestag election 2017 is before. "This will not be a cuddly election campaign, but a tough fight," warns Strobl.For weeks, Merkel has warned her party point that it is crucial to the tone in order to prevent the polarization from the right and left outside. "I do not want this sort of election campaign," she emphasizes, referring to the hate-filled US presidential election campaign, and in Heidelberg he receives a great deal of applause.
"We are also sometimes too much"
A listener admonishes that the best means against populists is to go to the people. He would have liked to have a set of catchy slogans like "promote and demand", with which one could also explain politics well. Promptly Merkel invites him to Berlin - as a "test person", what she calls after laughers in the audience as quite serious.For she herself has just begun to eradicate her language, often criticized as technocratic, for the election campaign. Already at the first regional conference in Neumünster, Merkel had apologized for the fact that the word "disruptive" she used to be often "elitist".
