Das Verarmungspaket der Regierung und die Feigheit der Gewerkschaften – Ep. 361

The German government has unveiled its impoverishment program, which Merz describes as a "great leap forward." For workers in Germany, there are no significant relief measures, only hardships. Mini-jobs will soon be taxed more heavily, longer working hours will be required, sick leave will become more difficult to obtain, and increases in consumption taxes are planned. Defense spending is increasing by 100 billion euros, but otherwise, no money is available. The claim from left-liberal circles that both rearmament and the welfare state can coexist is definitively revealed as the illusion of those who belong to Bluesky or the Young Socialists. Particularly appalling is how Yasmin Fahimi, the head of the German Trade Union Confederation, is reacting to the reforms—namely, "constructively." The union leadership apparently doesn't realize that it is supposed to represent the interests of the working class. In the new episode of "Prosperity for All," Ole Nymoen and Wolfgang M. Schmitt discuss these terrible reforms. Literature/Sources: Federal Government: “A Program for Economic Recovery and Employment”, available online at: https://www.bundesregierung.de/resour...
