“There has been no progress in Bulgaria for years, mainly because the HDZ was courting a corrupt prime minister,” said German MEP Daniel Freund. replica of the Secretary General of the CDU Paul Tsimyak for Bulgaria.
An interview with the Secretary General of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), Paul Tsimyak, stirred the spirits in Germany. In a conversation with t-online, Tsimyak described the European plans of the candidate for chancellor of the Social Democratic Party (GSDP), Olaf Scholz, as “dangerous”.
“Europe will be flooded with German money”
Tsimyak claims that in his program, the Social Democrats, who according to the latest polls are ahead of the Christian Democrats, “are planning a union of debts and transfers in Europe”. “Therefore, German taxpayers, pensioners and savers will have to be responsible for the debts of other countries in the future,” Tsimyak said, adding: “Even worse: Mr. Scholz and the GSDP even want to create a social union!” This means that workers in Germany will in practice have to pay social benefits in other countries through their taxes and social security contributions. Then Europe will be flooded with German money. “
Asked if he really considers such a scenario realistic, Tsimyak replied: “Of course. The electrical engineer from Wuppertal and the nurse from Chemnitz will pay for the unemployed in Romania, Bulgaria or another European country. This is the GDPR’s vision for the future of Europe. “
The reaction to Tsimyak’s words was not long in coming. Green MEP Daniel Freund wrote on Twitter: “In the election campaign so far, the Union has not said ANYTHING about Europe, now Tsimyak has set fire to the campaign: ‘Foreigners are taking everything away from you.’ There has been no progress in Bulgaria for years, mainly because the HDZ was courting a corrupt prime minister.
The Social Democrats also reacted sharply to Tsimyak’s remarks. “Every answer in this interview is dictated by panic,” said Bundestag leader Carsten Schneider.
What will the next German chancellor be called?
According to the latest Infratest dimap poll, Olaf Scholz’s Social Democrats are on track to win Germany’s parliamentary elections on September 26th. Data released last week showed that 25 percent of Germans would vote for the Social Democrats. The alliance between the HDZ and the HSS would receive a record low 20 percent. The Greens, who were serious contenders for the top spot at the start of the campaign, also collapsed in the polls, receiving just 16 percent support.
The growth among the Social Democrats is largely due to Olaf Scholz’s rating. 55 percent of voters describe him as the most competent, and 42 percent – as the most likable. For the candidate for Chancellor of the Christian Democrats Armin Laschet, these percentages are 14 and 13, respectively. The candidate of the Greens, Analena Burbock, is the most sympathetic according to 23 percent of the Germans. Only 7 percent define her as the most competent.
