Germany in the downward base: the traffic light government and the impending electoral disaster

Berlin: The traffic light government is faced with new challenges after Economics Minister Robert Habeck had to drastically correct the economic forecast for this year. Germany is experiencing its second year of recession in a row, and a modest economic recovery is only forecast for 2025. There is nothing left of the promising economic miracle that Chancellor Olaf Scholz announced in early 2023.

With the Bundestag election in one year, the topic of economy becomes the central point of dispute in the political arena. The opposition Union Chancellor candidate Friedrich Merz proposes a reform of corporate taxes and relies on more market and respect for high-profile earners. The government parties SPD and the Greens hope for advantages by emphasizing the topic of ecological transformation. While the FDP moves into the election campaign with its mantra of less bureaucracy and tax relief, which program ultimately convinces the voters according to information from www.presseportal.de .
