Friedrich Merz has demonstrated his extraordinary clumsiness in foreign policy matters with particular emphasis.

Germany 's military dwarfism is now to be countered by a historic debt spree, diametrically opposed to everything the CDU promised voters before the recent general election.

Merz, who once presented himself as the last line of defence against debt madness, is now set to push Germany ’s new debt into the trillion euro range.

Joachim Nikolaus Steinhöfel is one of the most renowned German lawyers specialising in media law.

In 2024 , he won 16 out of 16 cases against the German government, including before the Federal Constitutional Court .

In conclusion, this program will accelerate Germany ’s economic decline, he says.
