Julian Adrat referred to dm CEO Christoph Werner as a smart head and accused Caren Miosga of interrupting Werner when he praised Gerhard Schröder's reforms. He wrote that she wanted to discredit Schröder as a friend of Putin and prevent a discussion about successful reforms. Moreover, Werner did not share the pessimism about an end to the traffic light coalition and pointed out that history continues to evolve. Adrat quoted him as saying it would be "the first time in history" if the end of history were to occur now. The simple truths put public broadcasters in a sweat, wrote Adrat. #Politik #Deutschland #Reformen (translated)

Wolfgang Kubicki said that realistically no one expects the SPD to develop the necessary reform strength. Christian Lindner has already attempted to put the Social Democrats on a reform course; the outcome of this attempt is well known. The situation has become even more complicated, as not even the agreed small steps are being implemented. Kubicki accused the SPD of seeking short-term advantages through chaos and undermining achieved compromises, as was already the case during the traffic light coalition. The Christian Democrats have tolerated this for too long because the Chancellor lacks leadership qualities, and they may have been too naive and gullible. #SPD #Reformen #Politik (translated)
