German Chancellor warns of autumn of reforms/ Merz: Decisions on some

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz declared in Parliament that the country is facing a critical moment and that major decisions must be made about three main threats.

Merz cited direct threats to freedom, such as those from Russia. In addition, he said, there was pressure on Germany's free-trade economy and the risk of political forces dividing society.

Merz told the Bundestag that Germany needed to prepare for radical reforms.

"Our country is at a crossroads this autumn. We all feel this: the decisions that will be made are not about small details, but about fundamental issues ," the conservative Christian Democrat leader told lawmakers during the general debate on the chancellor's budget.

He said this was about "nothing less than the future of Germany."

 

" We must strengthen our resilience and defensive capability. We must deter further aggression and, at the same time, bring allies and partners closer together, as the federal government is continuously doing."

Merz also warned that Germany's economic model was under pressure from "a new protectionism aimed at free trade and open markets."

He added that domestic and foreign political forces were questioning unity, undermining democracy, and seeking to divide society and the government.

 

"On all these fronts, the federal government is working with great concentration. After a very short summer break, we immediately set a busy agenda."

"I ask all those who are following us closely and critically, and all those who are impatient for change, to be patient. We have just begun," Merz said./ DW
