The German Chancellor announces “Autumn of Reforms” and the reorganization of the state

Germans should prepare for deep changes, which will also apply to the care of your care – announced on Wednesday at the Bundestag the Chancellor of Germany Friedrich Merz. These plans are to be implemented during the upcoming “autumn reforms”, although the coalition parties remained a lot to be agreed.

Speaking in the debate over the budget, Merz asked in the parliament of fellow citizens to prepare for far -reaching reforms and appealed for “necessary perseverance.” – The decisions we face do not apply to details but fundamental matters. It's about the future of our country – he said.

In the opinion of the Chaded Chancellor, that the state “continues to serve its goals”, its wide reorganization is necessary. And this – as he reserved – will have an impact on the German guardian state.

In the context of reforms, Merz spoke about the necessity Increasing the Bundeswehr defense capabilities and improving the economic situation. He also decided that The intergenerational contract must be “thought out again”.

The defeat of the recession who has been living in Germany for two years is considered the number one task for the CHADEK coalition with social democrats. Germany complains about rising energy prices, falling demand, as well as new American duties – says the DPA agency.

By embedding his speech in a wider international context, Merz assessed that Democracy in Germany is threatened. – Our consistency is questioned. National and foreign political forces do it. They discredit our democracy, sow disagreement, want to divide our society, as well as the ruling coalition – he warned.

According to Chancellor West Germany is measured with military and hybrid threats.

The challenge for Berlin is – as he said – “new protectionism”. The head of the German government meant the United States under Donald Trump, which concluded with the European Union a trade agreement described by German media openly as unfavorable to the EU.

When assessing Merz's speech, “Der Spiegel” decided that although his announcements “sound encouraging, they still require refinement.” The most difficult debates, including on social benefits or health care system, still before the CDU/CSU coalition with SPD.

It's no secret that there are discrepancies among coalition partners. Chades are in favor of continuing savings, including in the field of unemployment benefits. Social democrats, on the other hand, are in favor of increasing taxes for the richest.

Admitting that reforms are necessary in the system, the leader of the SPD parliamentary faction Matthias Miersch called on Wednesday to defend the state of prosperity. “Citizens must be able to rely on a state that ensures them security in crisis situations,” he said in the Bundestag.

The coalition, and especially the Christian Democrats, are under pressure from the right-wing and populist alternative to Germany. AfD can count on 27 percent. support, which is the highest result of this party so far – according to the YouGov survey published on Wednesday. The group (so -called sanitary cordon) politically isolated by its competitors is the most popular party in Germany.

AFD co -chairman Alice Weidel on Tuesday strongly attacked the Chancellor's parliament. She accused him of breaking election promises and “incitement to war.” She was also in favor of even more restrictive border controls and a return to nuclear energy. “Der Spiegel” decided that Weidel “tried to sketch a gloomy mood, a picture of the country on the edge of the fall.”

Jens Spahn, head of the CDU/CSU parliamentary faction, answered on the part of CDU. As he argued, Russia issues the unity of Germany and Europe to the test, and AFD transforms into the “fifth column of this dictatorial regime”. – It has nothing to do with patriotism. This is a betrayal of the homeland and our freedom – he assessed, accusing the AfD “dressing up as conservatives.” (PAP)
