On 30 June, the first football-free day of the 2010 World Cup, it happened: the Federal Assembly, as the largest parliamentary assembly of the Federal Republic of Germany will meet to elect the new President. The 14th Federal Assembly, headed by Prof. Dr. Norbert Lammert, President of the Bundestag is composed of 1244 delegates - the 622 women members of parliament and an equal number of electors and who have been sent by the parliaments of the countries. stand for election the following candidates:
- the 51-year-old Prime Minister of Lower Saxony, CDU deputy and Catholic Christian Wulff as a candidate of the black-yellow coalition ( web )
- the 70-year-old political party, DDR-critical Protestant theologian Joachim Gauck as a candidate of the SPD and the Greens ( web )
- the 74-year-old journalist and left-wing member of parliament Lucretia Jochimsen as a candidate of the Left ( web ).
Here is a video summarizing the key background information on the election procedure:
As Live Stream I recommend the WEB-TV of Parliament on television bundestag.de ( Direct link ) . ZDF also has a live stream for 11:35 in the library announced ZDF, and ARD offers from 9 clock on their multimedia page several streams.
I do not believe that the choice comes to surprises, because of the power hunger of the coalition will create their candidate Wulff well in the first round, the absolute majority and thus move into the Bellevue Palace - but you never know ... ;-) So quiet clean look in between times!
