in the ZDF polittalk "Maybrit Illner" Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) finally spoke plain text! At the upcoming industrial summit, he wants to negotiate with corporate bosses, unions and business representatives behind closed doors about paths from the oppressive economic alarm. "I want there to be a confidential discussion," said Scholz. During the session, everyone should be able to say openly what moves them without the results being worn out immediately. A remarkable strategy, you wanted to mean!

The economic situation keeps the nation in suspense - the mood among entrepreneurs is tense! Scholz calls for measures that consider everyone involved as meaningful. "If everyone wait, you cannot do politics," he warned and assured that the summit should not be a "theater", but offers space for real conversations. However, the rather small group of participants ensures increased criticism, especially of the middle class, which does not see itself sufficiently represented.

The traffic light coalition and its difficulties

Scholz gives cooperation in the traffic light coalition of the SPD, Greens and FDP a challenge. "Difficult disputes are part of the business," said the Chancellor. He recalled that the attempt by a Jamaica coalition of the CDU, the Greens and FDP failed in the past-a message that triggers thoughtfulness. "Those who have the mandate of the citizens should fulfill their duty," they made it clear without losing confidence in the coalition work.

Important laws are also pending: the controversial pension package is to be adopted before the end of the year, and that, despite resistance. "This is stipulated in the coalition agreement!", Scholz left no doubt that this topic in the coalition has top priority.

Security and international topics

Scholz sees no need for action when it comes to NATO membership of Ukraine and emphasizes that a country cannot become a member of the NATO in the war. "There is responsibility in dealing with the situation, especially in relation to Russia," he said. He rejects the delivery of weapons such as the German Taurus marching aircraft to avoid escalation. "I will not act carelessly," he assured his audience.

He supports the announced stationing of American medium -range missiles in Germany because it is part of NATO's security strategy. "We have to be so strong that we cannot be attacked," he warned, and this statement leaves no room for interpretations.

The exciting program in which all of these topics were discussed runs on ZDF this evening from 10:15 p.m. A special anniversary: ​​It is the 1000th edition of "Maybrit Illner". The moderator has been discussing the challenges of time with politicians and experts for 25 years - a must for everyone who wants to stay at the pulse of events in the political world!
