Economy under pressure: traffic light government in the Fallout before the election 2025

alarm level red for the German economy! Only a year left until the decisive Bundestag election, and the traffic light government is in the pouring rain! Economic Minister Robert Habeck had to drastically correct the dark economic forecasts for 2023 on Wednesday.

Germany is deep in the recession - and in the second year in a row! It was not until 2025 that the situation could show minimal improvements, but of an upswing à la Wirtschaftswunder, which Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) had promised full -bodied in the spring of 2023, there can be no question!

The campaign fronts harden

The coalition of SPD, Greens and FDP is already faced with an almost impossible outcome. Strategy geniuses from all sides-including the opposition, the Union-think the economy as the central battlefield in the moment of the upcoming choice. A race against time: Who has the best concept to get the paralyzing economy back on their feet?

Friedrich Merz, the Union Chancellor candidate, has already been committed to reforming corporate taxes. Market and respect for the upper income layers, according to his motto. But where is climate protection? Merz has not yet appeared with a clear plan!

The traffic light coalition has its answers

Here the SPD and the Greens see their chance! They are firmly convinced that the ecological transformation of the economy is already in full swing and is irreversible. Your goal: The state must ensure that the citizens do not fall by the wayside while the change is carried out.

But the FDP also works to move into the election campaign with its usual mantra: less bureaucracy, tax relief and adhering to the debt brake - that is her triad. But will that be enough to survive the lurking campaign campaign at the SPD to survive the Greens and Union?

The questions remain urgent: How do you slip from the economic descent? Will the Federal Government create the turnaround, or will the citizen have to pay the invoice for the missed policy of recent years? The clock ticks!
