And we are therefore on the 3. "October, and already in the preselection phase, the voters with this balance and our opinion and say clearly what we want in the next four years, what it's about, namely: this development to continue on 76, to ensure that the upward trend will continue in 77 and thus permanently again a higher level of employment, i.e. to reach full employment."

This policy: aufgalopp the German parties of the candidates the major election battle upgrade in September. October 3 - the election Sunday - of citizens may fallen back in the role of the sought-after people sovereign. The CDU has used the time after the loss of power on the Rhine to quickly complete the path of the voters Club to party members. When Helmut Kohl the 600,000 welcomed party member. had the Union almost as many members as the SPD.
In the last few weeks, we have seen the three parliamentary parties at their launch preparations. Helmut Kohl, whose capacity for integration the party owes not just the increase in Member, toured towns and villages. He pays out good chances as the Chancellor candidate of the Union.

The CDU Chairman Helmut Kohl: "ladies and gentlemen, dear friends Christian Democratic Union." I hope I can also say: Dear political opponents, because to our style of political debate heard it, that we reasonably treat each other and don't insult the others, who thinks differently, and defame.
It concerns a normal operation on this October 3. It comes that the Supreme sovereign of our country, which is which is the citizen, determines the people about. who will lead the Government in our country from 1976-1980. This is not a change of power, as the Social Democrats say, is a change of Government, and in democracy, ladies and gentlemen, it is the most normal thing of the world, that the citizen chooses a Government Office. And it is quite clear that we have this time not only a great chance, but we will prevail, that the turn is the time for the better in German politics."
A sharper blade strikes the Bavarian sister party. She looks for the confrontation with the SPD - in domestic and foreign policy. in relation to the East, the CSU still pleads for hardness. In the last big issue - the treaties of Poland - Franz Josef Strauß was unforgiving.

The CSU leader Franz Josef Strauß: "since there is this contract, less Deutsche have emerged as before." Year after year with greater difficulty, under unbearable part harassment. We have a complete picture, how many requests are made, this is just a vanishing fraction of those who wish to travel from, for example, because people are afraid, there is night tapped as the political officials of the political Commission and says he wants to talk once, what because the comrade alive in the people's Republic of Poland finds so intolerable, that he has made applications for exit."
Also the FDP and its leading candidates are looking for talking with the citizens. While the CDU wants to curtail the claims of the State and expand the freedom of the individual, we recommend the free Democrats as liberal pragmatic economic Manager. Law and order. Minister of Economic Affairs Friderichs beckons with the promise that the FDP will prevent in the future, that the trees are left in the sky. The seven-year Alliance with the SPD, has his opinion for the citizens get paid.

Federal Minister of Economics Dr. Hans Friderichs: "we survived better survived, than many have feared - better a series of problems that came from the outside, energy crisis, commodity crisis, Weltwährungs crisis this as our neighbors. It was only possible because at the same time the operated by the Federal Government foreign and foreign trade policy through an inclusion in the West and at the same time through a normalization of our relations with the East, the condition has improved. And we are therefore on the 3. "October, and even now already in the preselection phase, the voters with this balance and our opinion and we say what also clearly in the next four years to what it's about, namely: this development to continue on 76, to ensure that the upward trend will continue in 77 and thus permanently again a higher level of employment, i.e. to reach full employment."
The Social Democrats want to create a model of Germany - somewhere between "Unfettered capitalism and dictatorial communism". The SPD relies on two men: Chancellor Schmidt and his predecessor Willy Brandt, who had to give his place two years ago. As Chairman of the SPD, Willy Brandt sees his task in particular is to mobilize the so-called base of the party. The SPD Chairman Willy Brandt: "a vote will be decided in the minds and in the hearts of the people and she will therefore decided in much-thousandfold conversation of the women and men of our people. And there we have our role and there to let make Please also not mistaken, when a wave, which we can keep up with may not be then comes in the final round a big wave of advertisements and printed materials. I also predict if we properly fastened, then the small money is beat again dervielen the big money of the few."
As a master of the emotional appeal is Willy Brandt - milieu characterised as the strategist of the party - the choice citizens keep bar want it or disposition more tend to Western European socialism. But even more, the SPD relies on Helmut Schmidt, who wants to find the decision in the classic areas of workers on the Rhine and Ruhr. The Chancellor of the Socialist-liberal coalition wants the mandate of the voters to continue as before. Before the election he moved confidently a balance.

Chancellor Helmut Schmidt: "our country owes its high performance and the creative will of its citizens first and foremost, but en she owes our sealing linked network of social security, our policy of continuous reforms also our successful understanding policy, our exceptionally high performance."

This sport: Honoring a ceded successes of yesterday - that's why was also in Argentina. The German Embassy in Buenos Aires was awarded a man whose name is connected with the heyday of German car racing of the post-war period: Juan Manuel Fangio, five-time car champion, was awarded the great cross of merit of the Federal Republic. The current Chairman of the Argentine Mercedes works had celebrated his greatest triumph with the German brand - in the 50s, as Mercedes still "hot stoves ' produced."
Nürburgring 1954th Fangio rushes his compatriot Gonzales on Ferrari. Mercedes race Director Neubauer incitement off. He is concerning and want to prevent that the Argentines risked too much. Neubauer retains right: on the successor of the legendary silver arrow car champion Fangio 1954 is congratulates President Heuß.
Years later. Fangio has switched to Ferrari. Also with the Italian brand, the Argentines proves that he is the world's best driver. The Italian boxing crew makes almost as rapidly again fit as earlier his five Mercedes mechanics who by the way 21 years later celebrated reunion in Buenos Aires with Fangio Fangio car.
The number 1 is on the Chase. Fangio needs only a few rounds, then he again leads the tips field. Fangio is considered in his Guild also the largest because he a car to break never in his long racing career and drove so controlled that he possessed in the decisive moment still reserves. His successes are unmatched to this day: 5 World Championship, 24 Grand Prix victories.
