They are stuck to their chairs
This coalition is still in power with all its strength. In view of the weakness of the SPD, the CDU believes it can continue like this: Overnight, a fund of ten billion euros will be raised to calm down so-called medium-sized businesses and industry because the basic pension has been decided. Nobody should believe that he has to pay for the basic pension. Essentially, however, the basic pension is paid by contributions from wage earners and employees. A financial volume is being pushed back and forth, to which CDU voters and others who are above the compulsory limit for insurance have not contributed.
The ten billion euro Structural Fund, however, is subsidised with tax revenue. Low wage earners have contributed to this through their contributions. Nevertheless, the SPD’s party celebrities are now inflating because they have finally alleviated a gross distortion in the wage structure under the impression of the AfD election successes after decades of talk.
Hartz IV was and is all too obviously a disciplining instrument for those on low incomes and is and remains associated with Schröder and the SPD. However, these social laws have not convinced well-earning bourgeois classes that they are well represented by the SPD. Except in the academic and university milieu, the voter base remains loyal to the CDU and the other parties, and the SPD must make do with the rest. And the media are gradually beginning to turn around and keep the old game of government and opposition more suitable for the government system. Under the current circumstances, there can be no furor that could sweep voters away. A person who could revive political propaganda is being sought with a great deal of hand-wringing. And Borjans is well suited to keep the rest of the SPD together, but as an inspiring leader he is certainly not the right person.
If the antagonisms intensify and Merz gets a chance, an opposition will be urgently sought and the AfD will not be called that yet. It is already needed in the state parliaments and at the municipal level the old CDU is appearing in the garb of the AfD. So the CDU has born its own opposition, why does it still need the SPD? The SPD is no longer systemically relevant. Now the SPD doesn’t want to fall into nothing as a result of the dissolution of the coalition and prefers to stick to its chairs.
