A woman with stage IV cancer said: I’ve already sent you an invitation to my funeral… I can’t afford it.

Why are cuts hitting us citizens… but not politicians?

Merz, visibly irritated, shot back:

At no point… was it ever considered to raise government salaries.

I would be grateful if you would not repeat that unchecked.

    Merz also wants to get rid of labour day. Don‘t think he will succeed there but it‘s amazing how he never misses an opportunity to be scummy all the way through.

    If one side gets cuts, but the other stays unchanged, it’s still favouritism.

      Well maybe no chancellor accused people of being lazy and not working enough, being ill on purpose. Instead of taxing the wealthiest and include the civil servants in his cost-cutting measures, he just targets the poorest of the country.

      So yeah I really don’t get it why he gets so much hate.

        Oh no screw that. Scholz may have been a bumbling fool. But he, of all chanellors of past 2000s had it worse from the start! But yes. Fuck Merz, all the hate is well deserved and earned

        Im crying for we could have had Habeck… :(

            Oh for sure but she was already in office for many terms by then and due to her managing her ministers and all that, that is what brought us here with nazis, declining economy, aso, its kind of her fault.

            Ofc she isnt at fault for the refugee crisis nore the misshandling of the eastern states but she is at fault for her inaction
