The Democratic candidate begins a trip to Europe
The Democratic candidate begins a trip to Europe which will lead from Germany to England via Paris. The reception given the senator from Illinois is more qu'enthousiaste.It is said éloquant, charismatic ... But for most Europeans, the senator is currently an image, a frament overview on air television during the Democratic primary. Some now want to see and confirm their eyes given the presence of regular candidate mixed.
In Germany that will travel first Barack Obama. Already, across the Rhine, expected the "superstar", as written by the magazine Der Spiegel. In Berlin, the senator from Illinois will meet Angela Merkel and the chief diplomat Frank-Walter Steinmeier. Followed by a speech necessarily waited at the foot of the Victory Column. Prémonition?
Friday, France is hosting the Europeans preferred candidate. Barack Obama will be received at the Elysée with the same respect usually accorded to different head of state. Like Saturday in London where Senator succèssivement meet former Prime Minister Tony Blair, his successor Gordon Brown and Conservative leader David Cameron.
Obamania
The Obamania invades Europe. The Democratic candidate happens to land conquered. Here, the vast majority hopes the next election. Many people who see her in him the architect of the transformation which seems to await the USA, the man capable to serve Washington. Obama "is planning a vision of a better America," said Georg and Schild, an expert on German-American relations at the University of Tuebingen.
In addition, Senator fascinating. it affects Europeans on subjects that their loved ones. Last week, in a speech on foreign policy, he promised to fight against global warming, insisting on diplomacy with Iran and to propose an exit strategy for Iraq, issues on which approaches Divergent Bush provoked anger among many Europeans. The Democratic candidate also called for a Marshall Plan of the twenty-first century to alleviate poverty because, he said, "it may be our best investment to increase security in the world.
"This is not Bush", summarizes the American Josef Braml, who works with the German Council on Foreign Relations. It is thus expected, it is hoped, impatient. And one surprise: it was a long time that a U.S. politician had not felt during a European visit, suffers demonstrations.
