While it seems to be premature to speak, as some in Germany now do, of a "Twilight of the Chancellor" or to call Schröder's surprising step "the beginning of the end" of his tenure, it is perfectly correct to describe it as a dramatic loss of power.
Bien qu'il semble prÃ©maturÃ© de parler, comme le font certains en Allemagne, de " crÃ©puscule du chancelier " ou de qualifier la dÃ©cision surprenante de SchrÃ¶der de " dÃ©but de la fin " de son poste, il est parfaitement appropriÃ© de la dÃ©crire comme une perte de pouvoir consÃ©quente.
