Olaf Scholz and the Pact for Germany, just an advertisement?

Developments in Germany are not so optimistic, the country is losing economic power, industry suffers from high energy prices and there is a lot of bureaucracy.

The infrastructure has problems, digitization is moving at a snail's pace. Inflation is high, citizens keep their hands tight. The "Economist" newspaper even asked in a recent article whether Germany is "the sick of Europe" again.

The chancellor asks for patience

This cannot stay like this. Chancellor Scholz's appearance in the debate on the budget in the Bundestag was different from the statements of August, where Scholz said that they are talking about difficulties that have nothing to do with Germany's economic power.

With his face hurt from running on Wednesday, he spoke in the Bundestag about the citizens, who are tired of the state of stagnation.

The chancellor called for an "increased national effort" to get the country moving. He announced the Pact for Germany. Together we must "shake off bureaucracy, fear of risk and timidity," because it "paralyzes our economy and brings frustration to people at home, who just want Germany to work."

Let's not fight anymore - a signal for the government

" Cooperation instead of conflict, this is the need of the hour ," said Scholz in the Bundestag. You can understand this as a request directed within the internal ranks. In the German government, contradictions of party politics collide between Te Gjebërve and the FDP, quarrels that were frequent in the past months and created the image of a divided coalition, and the chancellor was brought out weak and incapable of leadership.

More and more citizens are dissatisfied with the government. In the current ARD trend survey, only 19% of citizens rated the government's work positively. The coalition would no longer have a majority if there were elections now.

Criticism from the opposition

CDU dhe CSU që përbëjnë grupin më të madh parlamentar të opozitës në Bundestag nxjerrin konkluzionin, se kancelari nuk po i realizon projektet e veta nga fuqia e koalicionit dhe me paktin për Gjermaninë kërkon mazhoranca të reja. “Nëse koalicioni juaj në pjesë të madhe rrëzohet sigurisht që ne jemi në dispozicion”, ironizoi politikani kristiansocial, CSU, Alexander Dobrindt në Bundestag.

Kryeministri i landit të Rinani-Veriore Vestfali, Hendrik Wüst reagoi me zemërim ndaj propozimit të Scholz. “Pakti për Gjermaninë është vetëm një reklamë”, që synon të tërheqë vëmendjen, tha kryeministri nga CDU.

The economy is waiting for the government to move. "With the announcement of the pact for Germany, the German government is finally waking up", said Rainer Dulger, president of the Federal Association of German Employers, BDA in an interview.

For a long time, the government has been sleepy in terms of digitalization and has been fixated on bureaucracy hindering the economy and society.

This must change quickly - Scholz has received broad support from the premiers of the states governed by the Social Democrats. "We are very complicated in Germany, we are very slow, and ultimately very expensive. We need to simplify and become faster."/ DW
