German press on the Merza coalition. "Do not remainder on your laurels"

natemat.pl 6 days ago
Tarcia in the German government coalition are subject to press comments. The media underlines the request to increase cooperation and action in German interior policy.


"Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung" emphasises: "The coalition and the government must see themselves as a unity that in hard times has been entrusted with the task of immunizing the country and its free order on interior and external enemies. Both cases depend on each other. It is simply a good sign that the Chancellor openly admits: in the actions of the government and in communication, there is inactive much to improve. Improvement – this must indeed be the nonsubjective of action. The current coalition has achieved much in a short time. However, you cannot remainder on your laurels. The basic consensus that no uncertainty exists between the 2 erstwhile bulk parties should be activated and extended to all areas. Of course, we should besides constantly check whether the social and national state inactive deserves this name".

September elections


"Frankfurter Rundschau" analyses: "The fact that ruling parties clearly signal their views is simply a average phenomenon and does not yet mean any illegal dispute between them. In addition, there is inactive an crucial reason: in September there will be local elections in the largest German national state, North Rhine-Westphalia. The results of these elections will besides be interpreted as an assessment of Merza's and his government's actions. The worrying thing is that in fresh CDU/CSU and SPD polls the union fell alternatively weak, and the government coalition seemed to be burdened after little than half a year since its inception. This was greatly influenced by an entirely unnecessary dispute over the erstwhile candidate for the justice of the national Constitutional Court Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf. Recently, it has besides turned out that both Jens Spahn (president of the CDU/CSU parliamentary club in Bundestag – ed.) and his colleague from SPD Matthias Miersch do not have the authority to keep order in their ranks. Spahn is besides not considered by the SPD as a victim at all, but as a silent perpetrator of the rebellion against Brosius-Gersdorf".

Attention to AfD


The regional diary "Rhein-Zeitung" from Rhineland-Palatinate warns: "In order not to add wind to sail for AfD, the government coalition must take a number of actions: organization provocations must be put to an end, disputes must service a compromise, and election promises must be kept. All of this requires trust between coalitions, which should first be proved by the seamless selection of judges to the national Constitutional Court. In any case, Friedrich Merz and Lars Klingbeil are no longer adequate to describe common relationships as good and lasting. Now they must usage them to reorient their coalition".

The local diary from Stuttgart "Stuttgarter Zeitung" notes: "The merz behaves very skillfully in abroad policy towards its interlocutors, but in interior politics so far it lacks this finesse. It is not adequate to tell the SPD that it would be better if it were just a small bit more like the CDU. Merz needs to build bridges between coalitions to convince them of the deep reforms of the social state. So far he has been acting alternatively clumsyly on this matter".

Avoid the split


Nuremberg's "Nuernberger Zeitung" writes: "The coalition must so balance between the failure of a government majority and the recovery of public finances if it does not want to hazard a break-up. In the current situation, he is incapable to control budget spending or the climate crisis, let alone the crisis of democracy. So she will have to, despite all the adversities, seriously address various ways of solving the problems."

Augsburg paper "Augsburger Allgemeine" points out: "Unfortunately, Merz is not as active in interior politics as internationally. However, citizens are besides waiting for a signal on this issue that the Merza government will break up with the quarrels that have come to light in the erstwhile government coalition. But beyond the tightening of border controls by Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt of CSU, there is small indication of that. On the contrary: the economy continues to shrink, the Social Democratic Minister of Finance is seriously demanding taxation increases, and the urgent question of how less and less contributors are expected to supply pensions in the future, is one more time postponed as a task for the fresh committee on this issue."

Coalition disputes


According to the "Maerkische Oderzeitung" of Frankfurt nad Oder: "The change of moods for the better, which Merz promised after taking power by the current government coalition, has not yet occurred. And Merza's coalition, the SPD, is industriously subjugating the branch on which he sits with the CDU/CSU. The 2 co-chairs of the SPD are issuing fresh slogans on the redistribution of state revenue. You can get the impression that this organization is already positioning itself into an election run in case the current coalition breaks down. The voters advocated the change, but they fundamentally received Scholz 2.0, against which Merz seems powerless due to the fact that he lacks pressure. Coalition partners are increasingly digging into their positions, and that means nothing good to her. And it surely does not mean specified a essential breakthrough."
