Germany has entered a major crisis period after Angela Merkel's 16-year leadership. The country, considered the "Locomotive of Europe", is struggling with problems such as economic stagnation, political uncertainty and rising inflation. The "Traffic Light Coalition" (SPD, Greens, FDP) established after Merkel failed to stabilize the country and the government collapsed. While Olaf Scholz's leadership was found ineffective, the possibility of a return of the CDU and the rise of the far right could change the political balances in Germany. So what are the real reasons behind this collapse in Germany?
High inflation, rising unemployment and the energy crisis in the economy are putting the country in a difficult situation. Along with the Russia-Ukraine war, Germany's energy dependence has dragged the industry into a major recession. The increase in bureaucracy, heavy tax burden and the flight of companies from Germany are further straining the economy. The wrong energy policies and external dependence during Merkel's term have formed the cornerstone of today's economic crises. So will Germany be able to get out of this economic crisis?
In foreign policy, Germany's European leadership has been shaken. The Scholz administration abstained from the Russia-Ukraine war and was accused of following in the footsteps of the US. While Germany's influence within the European Union is decreasing, France's role is strengthening. How will this period of uncertainty affect the future of the EU? Could the CDU's return to power make Germany the leader of Europe again? We discuss the answers to all these questions and Germany's future in this video
