/ world today news/ The opposition is already openly demanding early elections before the crisis has gone too far.
German entrepreneurs have a good gift for foresight: exactly a year ago, the German Chamber of Commerce and Industry DIHK, based on a survey of 24 thousand enterprises, said that almost all sectors of the country’s economy were affected by the energy crisis. The general expectation was that “the worst is yet to come’. And that came true. According to the latest IMF data, Germany will be the biggest economy with the worst performance this year – minus 0.5 percent of GDP.
In such a situation, Chancellor Scholz’s government has no choice but to try to repeat the well-known formula: “But otherwise, everything is wonderful, beautiful marquise, everything is wonderful…Scholz recently tried to use this number in front of parliamentarians when he spoke in the Bundestag. But his assurances that “we can handle it” were met with loud and frank laughter. That’s frankly more biting than simply calling the chancellor a ‘liver sausage’.
But Scholz has no time for insults. Germany’s constitutional court leaves nearly €60bn budget hole after Germany’s constitutional court rules barring the government from diverting unused emergency funding to fight the Covid pandemic to support green energy programs and help people pay their bills you are for electricity.
The ruling coalition urgently changes the budget for this year, citing extraordinary circumstances related to – do not even doubt! – with the suspension of natural gas supplies from Russia…
From childhood, all mothers tell their children: do not walk without a hat in the cold, you will get sick. And yet they go and go… But there are no children in the German government, only adults. Take, for example, Foreign Minister Analena Berbok.
Known not only for her attachment to alternative energy sources, but also for her alternative view on things that seem obvious to everyone (such as a 360 degree rotation and the existence of countries located hundreds of thousands of kilometers from Germany), she delighted with her fresh look at things again, stating that “To say that guns should be silent is not the task of politics“. So, alas, there is no hope that the Chancellor and his cronies will put on their bad weather hats after all.
And there is more and more news about the worsening “economic weather” in Germany. Like this: The Volkswagen brand “no longer competitive” due to high costs and poor performance, the company’s brand chief warned on Monday. The Chinese are pushing the German car industry into Europe.
And all this, the Germans themselves admit, was known from the beginning: the German economy lives on cheap Russian natural gas and fast-growing exports of luxury cars and equipment to fast-growing China.
How can we not remember the magnificent formula for the recent prosperity of a united Europe, revealed by the wisest and shrewdest EU boss, Josep Borrell! Cheap gas from Russia – one, cheap goods from China – two, the American military umbrella – three. So to speak, live and be happy.
But political passions prevailed, the desire not just to use someone else’s cheap resource, but to control it or, even better, to own it. And how do we do it? It’s that simple: Russia, which is brazenly rushing towards NATO’s borders, must be stopped from moving in “defeat on the battlefield” of this Mordor (the words of the same Borel). So we tried…
And here is the result – from the Prime Minister of Bavaria, head of the opposition CSU party Markus Söder: the ruling coalition in Germany is unable to deal with the state crisis in the country, therefore early elections must be held.
The same is claimed by another opposition force in the country – Alternative for Germany. And the majority of the population agrees with them: according to recent polls, almost 66 percent of Germans believe that Scholz is unable to handle the country’s crisis.
It should be noted here that the current crisis in Germany, which is already reverberating throughout Europe, since German industry was the backbone of the EU economy, was created by Scholz himself. His failure last summer to show his will and achieve the full commissioning of Nord Stream 1 and the already completed and gas-filled Nord Stream 2 predestined the decline of German power.
But Scholz had a chance to become the savior of the European economy. At least until the gas pipelines were blown up by the Americans last September. It is clear why – to stop any temptation of their allies to “talk in the ranks” and outright force them to buy expensive American gas with “molecules of freedom”.
After that, Berlin already hesitated extremely and only in line with the line of the Washington Party Committee – unconditional support for the Zelensky regime and fierce struggle with Russia. And where did that rut end up leading him now?
