German businessmen to Olaf Scholz: “We have lost confidence in you”


German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is under fire from Rainer Dülger, President of the German Employers’ Association (BDA), who claims that German businessmen do not trust the government, that its actions are damaging the German economy and leading citizens to a crisis of confidence in the government!

This is the first time such accusations have been made against the German government! “When this coalition came to power, I never thought I would have to say this: we, as businessmen, have lost confidence in this government,” – said Dulger. According to him, the ruling coalition (SPD – Greens – FDP) neglects the interests of the national economy and instead allows the bureaucracy to flourish.

Social security costs have risen sharply in recent years as workers and their employers are forced to pay high taxes and contributions. At the same time, the authorities were unable to provide the promised insurance and tax benefits.

“The federal government is failing on all fronts.” – emphasizes Dulger. He also noted that instead of delivering results, the government is sticking to its party politics, which ultimately leads to a barrage of broken promises.

“I haven’t seen any economic miracle” – emphasized the head of German businessmen. According to him, the mood among businessmen has dropped to a record low. “More and more, I am beginning to understand every angry citizen,” – he added.

In 2022, Germany, like the rest of Europe, is faced with an energy crisis and a resulting rise in inflation, mainly due to the infamous sanctions imposed on Russia.

It is worth noting that in Germany, farmers have been rioting for several days now, as the Scholz government has deprived them of access to cheap energy, which is due to sanctions imposed against Russia, which ultimately hit the German economy more.
