Bell tower from Notre Chancellerie Fédérale

Source: Egon W. Kreutzer;

Neither the national Office nor Reichstag have a bell tower, nor does the CDU headquarters. The question is so raised to the esteemed Simplicissimus: Where on earth did Friedrich Merz make this well call, about which he confidently announces to the microphones: A political change has begun in Germany.

Since he later said that we “initiated” the economical recovery, 1 must presume (at his disadvantage) that he knows the difference between leadership and calling and he truly believes that the political change, or ALL, for which he promised to fight before the elections, was not initiated, but simply announced.

Bim. Bam.

Incidentally, Duden's dictionary laconically states that "einläuten" means to announce the beginning of something.

If so, it would mean that Friedrich Merz made his decision on the hundredth day of his office as Chancellor that political change should begin now.

Like in the Olympic Games, erstwhile the fire burns:

‘I declare the Berlin Games open...“

The attitude of the current Chancellor so coincides with the sentiments of a strong majority in the country: so far, there is no sign of policy change. The authorization of the debt that occurred before 100 days ago is not an option, and if you believe his assurances, nothing has changed in the basis of Israel’s politics, even though this has caused large outrage.

Well, he admits he caused something, too. It reminds me of doctors at the maternity clinic who are trying to have a baby at the latest on Friday in a pregnant female who simply can't decision to keep the weekend safe.

Therefore, it is possible that something has been introduced, even if the audience is not active and, as frequently happens, must believe it.

But – a tricky analogy! – what can a pregnant German economy be erstwhile it was fertilized and who delivered the semen? Is the fetus already mature and capable of living, and if so, does that mean that the genes had to come from the individual liable for the erstwhile government?

Lots of questions and 1 possible answer more frightening than the other.

And do we really know what it's gonna be? Of course. He says he initiated an economical revolution, but what will it be: boys, girls, diversity?

Nor is it known erstwhile this initiative will succeed. Only Uncle Doctor reported that investments in Germany are being made again and that economical sentiments are slow improving. Unfortunately, I don't know who told him that. I'd love to talk to him sometime. Based on my information, I can't confirm that. The DAX index can stay above 24,000 points, no substance how unchangeable it is. The look at DAX says virtually nothing about the German economy. Companies, whose more than half are abroad investors, operate a large part of their activities abroad and make most of their profits abroad, surely do not reflect the economical situation in Germany.

Most major transformation projects, from battery factories to green hydrogen to chip factories, have collapsed with a more or little loud bang; the only thing to wait for now is childbirth. Stuttgart 21 has inactive not been completed, and as the railway copes with additional costs, it is besides unclear. Although Lutz, the erstwhile president of the railway board, has just been released, he will gotta proceed working with a dreary face until he finds a successor (who else does it voluntarily?), and before catching up, the current government can go back into the past.

It remains to be mentioned the last zero sentence, which accompanied ringing like Gregorian singing from the half-darkness of the decaying monastic ruin:

"Germany has one more time become a reliable partner in Europe and worldwide".

If he wrote on Twitter: "Germany is one more time a reliable partner of the American deep state in European and global politics", it would most likely be a small closer to the truth, although it would inactive be euphemism.

The Trump administration in Washington D.C. considers Germany to be a country where freedom of speech is seriously lacking; in Russia, completely independent of Jeffrey Sachs, people believe that there are instigators in Germany. In Israel, people are appalled by the embargo on weapons suitable for war in the Gaza Strip. The Chinese increasingly see Germany as an opponent alternatively than a trading partner; and the fact that in Europe, the Scouts club Starmer, Macron and Merza united to pay tribute to Zelenski and someway compression into peace talks between Trump and Putin is an alliance in which the credibility of the partners will be tested, just erstwhile Trump and Putin come to an agreement. The blow doesn't necessarily come today, Friday, but it will come, I'm certain of it due to the fact that Macron and Starmer do their own business. We do not know for certain yet what about Friedrich Merzem; he is most likely simply dragged behind him as a voluntary "bovine to vote".

Anyone who encounters accusations of deficiency of credibility on the part of his own coalition partner, due to the fact that there has not been an agreement with the judges of Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf, anyone who has to endure accusations of breaking all the electoral promises, due to the fact that that's what happened in those 100 days, and then claims to be a reliable partner for far more distant interests, must ask himself whether, in the face of events in Germany, there is simply a reason for pride and where this assurance comes from. possibly the formulas of diplomatic courtesy, inactive common abroad, have made specified an impression on the Chancellor, who frequently travels the world. possibly Annalena Baerbock should have introduced him to the art of travel diplomacy.

Good. Done. The bell rang.

Bim. Bam.
