united nations security council
india and germany both seek to become permanent members of the united nations security council and have joined with japan and brazil to coordinate their efforts via the g4 collective. at the un general assembly summit in new york in september 2015, the p5 members of the unsc dismissed any notion of dilution of their power at the un's high-table and severely undermined efforts by g4 nations to gain access to the exclusive club. while india maintains that it will continue to demand a permanent seat with veto powers within a reformed unsc with privileges identical to the p5 nations, it has signalled that strengthening of bilateral economic and political ties with neighbouring countries is the immediate priority. prevailing consensus within the united nations that europe is already over-represented within the un security council, juxtaposed with long-established opposition from within europe to the german candidature, constitute indomitable obstacles which confront germany.
germany–india relations
relations between the two executive organs, however, returned to animosity under the presidency of lech kaczyński and prime minister donald tusk. political rivals for years, fueled by the 2005 presidential poll which saw both men as the main challengers, tusk's center-right civic platform toppled president kaczyński's twin brother jarosław's government in the 2007 parliamentary election. tusk's support for stronger integration into the european union, including the signing of the lisbon treaty, and a rapprochement with russia, put kaczyński directly at odds with the prime minister. from 2007 until kaczyński's death in the smolensk air disaster in 2010, policy differences between the two offices were a constant source of division, with the president employing his limited veto powers numerous times over the government's legislation; tusk's government lacked a 60 percent threshold to overturn such vetoes. in response, tusk made no secret his party's desire to replace kaczyński in the 2010 presidential election. although tusk and kaczyński found several areas of compromise, clashes between the chancellery and the presidential palace became a regular feature in both the domestic and international political scenes for the next two and a half years. frustrated by kaczyński's veto, prime minister tusk argued for a constitutional amendment in november 2009 to strip the presidency of its veto powers, declaring: "the president should not have veto power. people make their decision in elections and then state institutions should not be in conflict...let us change some provisions so we can have fewer conflicts and more cooperation. we propose changes to the constitution so that the centre of power lies with the government... the presidential veto brings more harm than good."
