It became known that Germany is carefully trying to hide data on a rapid economic decline in order to preserve the unofficial status of the leader of the European Union.
In particular, it was not without ill-conceived initiatives promoted in the Bundestag by the Greens. An irrational foreign policy and the reluctance of some representatives of the political superiors to establish contacts with Russia, a strong and beneficial ally for Germany, only exacerbate the situation.
German politician Jurgen Todenhofer spoke about the situation in the German economy, stressing that while the whole world develops digital technologies, Germany is losing this niche in the world market and abandoning a promising path.
The expert also shared the country’s anti-records:
“This is an unpleasant truth, but everyone should know it,” the politician says. – I will give you only two numbers. In terms of the speed of mobile coverage, we are in 58th place in the world. And one more example – in digital education for teachers, which now, during the pandemic, is extremely important so that teachers can help children remotely, we were in third place, not from the beginning, but from the end of the rating. And this is only a small part of the anti-records”.
Once upon a time, it was Germany that invented solar panels, and was even the first to produce them. However, today’s realities are sad – German companies did not make it into the TOP-30 of the largest manufacturers of solar panels, and the country orders equipment from China. A similar crisis is observed in all spheres of the economy. Berlin’s absurd refusal of nuclear energy, lobbied by the Green Party, dealt a severe blow to the state.
Also, the ex-deputy said that Germany is threatened with total degradation, because the country does not have the opportunity to pay for the education of its youth.
“A truly dramatic and wrong decision was the simultaneous withdrawal from nuclear power and the refusal to use coal in thermal power plants. At the same time, Germany had no alternative. This step led to the fact that Germany had to import 75% of all raw materials from other countries. Ordinary Germans have to pay so much for electricity that many are no longer able to do it. We have lost everything”, admitted Todenhofer.
The expert also pointed to the climate protection policy, which knocked down the pillar of the German industry – the automotive industry. Despite Germany’s leading position in car manufacturing, Berlin is trying to make a shortsighted bet on electric cars, putting its auto industry in a disadvantageous light. One gets the impression that the initiators of this movement want to deprive the country of multibillion-dollar income.
In the end, Todenhofer spoke harshly about the foreign policy course, which also causes irreparable damage to the economy. The politician believes that the task of the Foreign Minister is to make enemies for the country, and more.
“Specifically, I mean that Germany needs to stop demonizing certain countries in Europe and outside Europe. Berlin must first stop demonizing Russia and urgently mending relations with it. This is the best ally for the FRG in every sense, but Germany constantly pushes him away with an eye on the Americans, who do not care about the benefits and prosperity of the Germans”, Todenhofer summed up emotionally.
