Germany's chancellor Friedrich Merz has lost public support by avoiding key reforms and running a timid, risk-averse agenda, leaving voters frustrated and opening space for opposition parties. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/03/23/world/germanys-leader-is-failing/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #friedrichmerz #germany #germaneconomy #cdu #greens #afd #spd
Germany’s leader is failing his ‘last shot’ mission

But it turns out timid and noncommittal politics don't win elections either. Recent surveys all point the same way: Germans want change.

In der neuen Folge sprechen Dr. Karin Kneissl und Flavio von Witzleben über die politischen und wirtschaftlichen Erschütterungen der vergangenen sieben Tage: den umstrittenen Zoll-Deal zwischen Donald Trump und der EU – und warum er, trotz gefeiertem "Erfolg" in Brüssel, für die deutsche Wirtschaft ein Milliardengrab werden könnte. Außerdem im Fokus: Trumps unrealistische Zehn-Tage-Frist an Russland, die innenpolitische Krise in der Ukraine, die diplomatischen Vorstöße zur Anerkennung Palästinas und die dramatische Hungersnot in Gaza.

Die deutsche Rüstungsindustrie steht vor Herausforderungen, um den steigenden Bedarf an Verteidigungsgütern zu decken. Eine europäische Strategie und Investitionen sind notwendig, um langfristig wettbewerbsfähig zu bleiben und die Verteidigungsfähigkeiten zu stärken.

As other nations, including Germany's neighbors, invest in nuclear energy, there is growing pressure for Germany to reconsider its stance. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2024/12/26/world/germany-nuclear-energy/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #germany #nuclearpower #energy #renewables #germaneconomy #climatechange
It's time for Germany to admit its mistake on nuclear energy

The main thing standing in the way of Germany rebuilding its nuclear sector is a stubborn insistence that it can’t be done.

In yet more bad news for the #GermanEconomy Thyssenkrupp to cut 11,000 jobs at steel division in major corporate shakeup - pair these layoffs with massive cuts from major German automakers and electronics manufacturers and the picture is grim, and growing dimmer. #GermanPolitics reflects that, and many disgruntled voters are turning to the right for answers. As the #Ecoonomy begins to fail and more jobs are lost, could #Germany become disillusioned with the West and turn to Moscow and Putin for relief? Stranger thing have happened. #GeoPolitics #EU #economics #Layoffs #Capitalism #Thyssenkrupp https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/loss-making-thyssenkupp-steel-slash-5000-jobs-by-2030-2024-11-25/
