@tazgetroete „Auch diesmal gab es Protest – ein Rücktritt der Entwicklungsministerin Anneliese Dodds. Dodds gab an, dass sie die Erhöhung des Verteidigungsetats durchaus verstehe, nicht jedoch, dass es aus der Entwicklungshilfe käme. Ihrer Meinung nach wäre es an der Zeit, über die Steuerpoliti zu reden.“ - Wer wird denn in Deutschland zurücktreten, wenn #Olaf die 3 Milliarden in den Topf wirft? - Ach, ich vergesse, dass wir noch gar keine neue Regierung haben! #unplagTrump

2022 war der Ofen in der @Bundesregierung schon komplett aus #Olaf!

Über 2 Jahre habt ihr uns durch diesen Mist gepeitscht und der #FDP jeden Schwachsinns-Wunsch von den Lippen abgelesen & gekuscht, bloß um nun zum ungünstigsten Zeitpunkt die Reißleine zu ziehen.

Und dann jetzt was von "staatspolitischer Verantwortung" faseln.

Bäh. 😤

Germany’s 2021 national election campaign to replace #Angela #Merkel as chancellor
became a competition among various candidates to imitate her cautious political style.

The ultimate winner of the election—#Olaf #Scholz, the leader of the Social Democratic Party—demonstrated his affinity by avoiding any hint of polarizing rhetoric during the campaign.

He even adopted Merkel’s signature hand gesture from photo ops and press conferences,
pressing together his fingertips from opposite hands to form what had come to be known as the “#Merkel #rhombus.”

But in the immediate post-Merkel era, it was not her many imitators, but rather Scholz’s vice chancellor and minister for economics and climate change,
the 53-year-old Green Party leader #Robert #Habeck, who emerged as the country’s most popular politician.

For years previous, Habeck had been the most prominent exception to the trend of Merkel mimicry on Germany’s political scene.

Whereas Merkel offered agendas comprised of a series of small incremental steps,
Habeck preferred to start political discussions with an abstract analysis of the status quo.

Whereas Merkel would justify policies by presenting them as lacking any viable alternative,
Habeck declared that “nothing is alternative-less.” ...

Foreign Policy · Why Germany's Climate Politics Isn't Working: The Case of Robert HabeckBy Cameron Abadi

At a glance, Germany’s chancellor, #Olaf #Scholz,
and his defense minister, #Boris #Pistorius, share much in common.

The two longtime members of the Social Democratic Party ( #SPD ), both in their mid-60s,
were born in the same city, namely the old market town of Osnabrück in northern Germany,
at the height of the Cold War.

While Scholz moved on to become mayor of Hamburg,
Pistorius took the post in Osnabrück’s city hall.

From there, #Scholz entered the federal government as then-Chancellor #Angela #Merkel’s finance minister,

#Pistorius to interior minister in the state of Lower Saxony.

And Pistorius, like Scholz
—in fact, like their party overall
—long saw💥 chummy relations with Vladimir #Putin’s Russia💥 as the best means to ensure stability in Europe,
even well after Russia’s 2014 annexation of Crimea.

Foreign Policy · Germany Has 1 Year to Replace Olaf ScholzBy Paul Hockenos

The question now is not whether Chancellor #Olaf #Scholz’s government will survive, but for how long. 

Germans faced a stark split screen Sunday night:
As France’s president responded to a withering defeat by the far right in the European election by declaring his intention to dissolve the national assembly,
their own chancellor performed a disappearing act. 

Scholz,
the biggest loser of the night,
put in a cameo at his party headquarters for a few selfies before going AWOL,
leaving to the help the unenviable task of explaining his Social Democrats’ worst showing in a federal election in over a century.  

If Scholz believed he could dodge a reckoning after his party was beaten into a humiliating third place by the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, he, like most recreants, is likely mistaken. 

Scholz says an early election is not in the cards, but it’s likely not up to him.
