A warning to the major parties
The outcome of Germany's state elections in Thuringia, Saxony and Saarland is a warning to the major parties, writes the liberal daily Mladá Fronta Dnes: "Both the Christian Democratic Chancellor Angela Merkel and her greatest rivals, the Social Democrats, lost a significant section of their voters compared to the last elections. The Christian Democrats saw their share go down by as much as 10 percent. With the Bundestag [national parliament] elections due to take place on 27 September this doesn't bode well for the conservatives. The only good news for the Christian Democratic Union is that the outlook is equally gloomy for the social democratic SPD."

Medvedev and Merkel
Russia's new president Dmitry Medvedev made his first state visit yesterday, meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin. The liberal daily examines the "chemistry" between the two politicians: "Merkel hopes that Medvedev, a former lawyer, will be more liberal than his predecessor [Vladimir Putin]. There was certainly plenty of smiling during their meeting yesterday, and even Merkel's appeals for Russia to respect human rights - words that once had a marked cooling effect on her relations with Putin - could not spoil Medvedev's day. ... However, according to analysts, the relationship between Merkel and Medvedev will not be a close one, or at least not as close as that between their predecessors Schröder and Putin."
