Merz: Armament of the Bundeswehr is going too slowly
The Union had approved the special fund for the Bundeswehr. Now, however, it is to be criticized that only 600 million of the 100 billion have been spent and further orders are still awaited. According to Merz, it is unclear why further decisions were not made together with the armaments industry long ago.
In the coming decades, Europe’s security against Russia must be organized. This requires quick and clear decisions, according to Merz. So far there has been no sign of the planned national security strategy. Instead, there is only a wrangling over competences among the ministers. Answers are now needed.
Scholz is right in his criticism of China, but you have to look at the entire Chinese plan. The “New Silk Road” is an imperialist project of China, which must also be clearly named as such. Germany must not repeat Nord Stream 2’s mistakes in dealing with China.
