Quick, write 2000 regulations on how to deregulate and make us competitive!
Lol when Draghi said the exact same thing a year ago, he was the 1st to criticize some of his ideas.
Seems like Europe’s economic direction is becoming a bigger concern lately
>“Europe doesn’t have a problem with awareness — it has a problem with implementation,” Merz stressed. “I intend to raise this issue again with our European partners. Above all, it’s about the competitiveness of the European economy.”
Everyone is aware. What is Merz **actually** proposing?
More neoliberalism for the proles and socialism for the corporations and wealthy.
He will try to force some german nonsense to other eu members again
We know, what exactly is your plan? What concrete reforms are you proposing? Stop talking shit for fucks sake, we hear this every other week from other European stupid ass impotent politicians like yourself, except nobody takes action, there is only talk
Step one. Move production to China.
Step two. Use your own patents and know-how to grow competition in China.
Step three. Destroy agriculture in Europe so that you can sell cars in South America.
Step four. Close cheap nuclear power plants.
Step five. Surprise any German chancellor. Why is nothing being produced in Europe and why are we so uncompetitive?
Step six. Move production from China to India.
Repeat.
Engaging in liberals’ favourite sport: gaslighting the european population.
If people don’t like the Union’s direction perhaps it’s time to blame the ones who have been in charge of its policies for 30 years and those are *check notes* oh, look at that, it’s fucking liberals!
Saying this after buying 50 F-35s is crazy 😂😂
Don’t you understand that with military dependence comes economic dependence too????
Merz: ‘We want economic reforms to increase competitiveness’ Also Merz: ‘We want to continue building ICE cars’.
Merz will be the first to block any attempts to reform anything, because it would mean that Germany would have to make some serious reforms as well.
become? we already are a pawn
I think he meant remaining a pawn. Not becoming
Let me guess. After some austerity for the poor and lower taxes for his rich friends, the wealth will trickle down to everyone.
Yes but first how about you fix your own house
Man, Merz talks the talk, but hasn’t really walked the walk so far. He should actually do his job for once.
How about some reforms here in Germany, Merz? And I don’t mean the BS you are currently doing.

How about the Member States stop playing their stupid game and provide more room and competences to the EU level to really start changing things for **all** Europeans.
Yeah I can imagine how he sees those reforms. especially after hertzlish wilkommen politik, nord streams and appeasement politic and complete failure of Minsk agreement i can’t imagine Germany as a leader of integration.
National governments just love playing the blame EU card whenever they fuck up.
Europe risks losing its economic independence to global giants unless its leaders take urgent steps to restore competitiveness, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz warned.
Speaking in the Bundestag on Thursday ahead of the EU leaders’ summit in Brussels, Merz called for sweeping economic reforms, stressing that Europe’s place in the global economy depends on them.
“This is crucial for the future of our country and for Europe as a whole,” he said. “In the coming weeks, months, and perhaps years, it will be decided whether Europe remains an independent economic power or becomes a pawn in the game of the major centers in Asia and America.”
Domestically, Merz faces growing pressure to respond more decisively to a prolonged economic downturn. After two consecutive years of GDP contraction, analysts now forecast stagnation for the current year as well. One major factor is U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff policy, which has hit Germany’s export-oriented economy particularly hard. Business leaders are urging the government to take bold steps to stimulate growth.
Merz’s coalition has pledged to reform the labor market and social welfare system. However, in recent weeks the chancellor has increasingly blamed Brussels for the lack of progress, urging the EU to simplify business regulations, strengthen the single market, and sign more trade agreements with other countries.
“Europe doesn’t have a problem with awareness — it has a problem with implementation,” Merz stressed. “I intend to raise this issue again with our European partners. Above all, it’s about the competitiveness of the European economy.”
According to Merz, concrete proposals already exist — in two reports by former Italian prime ministers Mario Draghi and Enrico Letta on strengthening the EU’s single market and improving its economic efficiency. “These two reports must not gather dust in the archives of the European Commission,” he said. “They should become part of the European Union’s agenda.”
The chancellor also urged the European Commission to take a more proactive role in advancing trade negotiations on behalf of the entire EU and to approve the agreement with the South American trade bloc Mercosur by the end of the year.
So, Merz’s playbook is deregulation, massive tax cuts for the rich, and cuts to social benefits. Exactly the same as in America and that didn’t work out very well for them, did it?
This fucken guy is all talk and no action. At the same time his government is sabotaging the pivot to clean energy, pampering German industry giants that are unwilling or unable to compete, and holding back most of the infrastructure funds that have been promised.
