Bavarian Prime Minister: Germany is in a serious state crisis

Germany is in a serious state crisis, and the cabinet has “neither a plan nor a head,” said the head of the CSU (Christian Social Union) and Prime Minister of Bavaria Markus Soeder. His words are quoted by RIA Novosti.

In his opinion, the current government is unable to solve the problem of the budget deficit. Previously, additional expenses from the German state budget were frozen by the Ministry of Finance in connection with a court decision, which declared illegal the redistribution of funds in the amount of 60 billion from the budgets of previous years.

Söder announced a state of emergency regarding the state budget, but in fact, he believes, this situation in Germany simply created an “emergency situation in the government.” He also said that the country needs to reconsider its entire energy policy and resume operation of nuclear power plants. According to him, Germany “became great” solely thanks to a balanced budget policy.

Earlier, the Wall Street Journal wrote that Berlin will have to make a difficult choice – developing the German economy or helping Ukraine. WSJ notes that the German Cabinet will have to decide on priorities in the near future. So, the Scholz government will have to choose between strengthening EU security and helping Ukraine, or trying to fight prices and inflation. WSJ also notes that earlier the German Cabinet promised the EU to support another aid package for the Kyiv regime, which is estimated at 50 billion euros.

The newspaper also writes that the economic difficulties of Germany are layered with a political crisis. Thus, the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, which opposes spending on Ukraine, has already received unprecedented voter support for a far-right party, the material says.
