Berlin -Horst Cailer and Horst Cailer, formerly responsible for the International Currency Fund, became a popular German President before surprising the country by suddenly resigning a flap over comments on the national army. 。 He was 81 years old.
The Caller, who was the head of the state from 2004 to 2010, died in Berlin on Saturday morning after a short illness surrounded by family, and the current German President Frank Valter Stein Meire’s office is a statement. I mentioned.
Caller was almost unknown to most Germans before winning the presidential position, and was stranger to the forefront politics. His nomination was “HORST WHO?”
However, he once built a high popularity evaluation at work. This was partially achieved by positioning himself as an outsider of the political elite of the country.
He sometimes refused to sign a bill for a bill, just for constitutional concerns, and did not always gain popularity to the government of Angela Merkel, which he chose as a presidential position.
Caller was elected before Merkel had power and had a hard time agreed to reform the labor market and reduce the welfare state. He said that Germans would not be resting in the past, “I am deeply convinced that Germany has the power of change.”
In July 2005, Kaler dissolved the parliament and agreed to give Gelhard Schuler, the Prime Minister of the time, in an unusual early election. He faced Germany’s “Giant Challenge” and declared that “the future and future of our children are at crisis.”
Merkel gained power, but after her story about deeper reform turned off voters, he blew off a large poll lead. Caller also does not talk much about the economic changes in the year, and is strongly critical of banks and financial markets during the economic crisis, and has not yet been kept. 。
After his second phase, he resigned in a sudden fashion on May 31, 2010, in criticism that he seemed to be rarely said. He quoted criticism of radio interviews after visiting the German army in Afghanistan.
In that broadcast, in the case of a country that depends on the export of Germany, the military development may be “necessary … to defend our interests, for example, to defend the free trade route.” I mentioned.
His office later mentioned the patrol of copyright infringement off the coast of Somalia, which was associated with many people in Afghanistan’s unpopular mission in Afghanistan.
Many were wondering if it was the real reason for the resignation of a thin skin with thin skin. The critic speculated that he was tired of being tired of lack of support from Merkel.
In the foreign policy, Kaler praised the needs of Africa. He became the second President of Germany, who spoke to Israeli Congress, and told Kunesset that “I bowed down with shame and humility in front of the victim.”
He also pays attention to his relationship with the eastern Poland, hopes to be the first foreign destination for both his two terms, and to become the same as France as an important German partner. I’m saying.
Caller, the son of a German farmer from Romania, was born on February 22, 1943 in a ski Abeau, Polish occupation under the Nazi occupation. His family fled to Germany after the war. At first it became the Communist Party East Germany and became West Germany in 1954.
Before becoming the President, Kaler had a long record as an efficient behind -the -scenes official.
Since the early 1980s, he has been working for the Ministry of Finance for more than 10 years under Helmut Call.
He helped the European single currency, the Euro’s legal framework, and played a role in negotiating German unification in 1990.
He later served as chairman of the European Bank for rebuilding and development.
In 2000, Kaler appeared as a Schrader backup option for IMF leadership. He gained US support after the US’s first candidate, Caio Koch-Weser, was rejected by the United States for lightweight.
Secretary of Finance John Snow praised the term of Caleer later and said, “He changed the educational institution from the perspective of its transparency … and worked on a better crisis prevention tool and a more effective crisis management. Ta.
Merkel, a German opposition leader at the time, brought him back to Germany four years later as a surprise choice for the presidential position, and secured an election at the Parliament.
In the letter of the positive DOL to Eva Louise, the wife of Caller, Stein Myier said on Saturday, “Many people in our country will be sad with you. In Holst Cailer, our country is our country. Because it was very respected and lost in the world.
“Especially his approach, infectious laughter and optimism, the strength of our country, and his belief in the energy and creativity of those who gained a lot of hearts. Steinmeier wrote. I am.
Caller survived by his wife’s daughter Ulurique and his son, Jochen.
