The European Union will become stronger, and the "Russian project" for destabilizing the EU will fail ingloriously if German Chancellor Angela Merkel succeeds in securing the confidence of voters during elections and creating a government of like-minded people.

This opinion was expressed by journalist Vitaly Portnikov, "Glavred".

According to him, Merkel's first meeting with the new French president Emmanuel Macron showed that the chancellor is confident - and this applies not only to Germany but also to Europe.

"Rehearsal" of the upcoming parliamentary elections in Germany, many German observers considered the main indicator of not only what will be the new ruling coalition in Berlin, but also who will take the post of the Federal Chancellor - the Christian Democrat Angela Merkel or her main competitor, the Social Democrat Martin Schultz.

What happened in these elections can be called a real sensation, because most received Christian Democrats.

According to Portnikov, the parties of Angela Merkel really managed to achieve impressive success.

But this is also the personal success of the Chancellor, who is running for the fourth term. Its main competitor, the charismatic former head of the European Parliament Martin Schulz was more a "petard" than a real "rocket". Since his nomination for the post of the Federal Chancellor of the Social Democrats, he has been subjected to some setbacks.

As reported by the "Observer", the elections to the Bundestag "won" the party Merkel.
