VDA President Müller calls for quick new elections
"In an extremely difficult global and economic situation, Germany needs a government that addresses the challenges unitedly and with seriousness," writes VDA President Hildegard Müller in her statement on yesterday's traffic light coalition breakdown.
Müller continued that the traffic light coalition was no longer able to do so, as had become increasingly apparent and evident on the open stage. The necessary cohesion had been increasingly dwindling, and a common course was hardly visible anymore. This led to growing uncertainty among the citizens and the economy.
"Nationally, European, and internationally, Germany's important interests could no longer be adequately enforced."
Müller therefore considers it logical that the coalition partners have drawn their conclusions from this.
"The wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, Donald Trump's election victory, a new European Commission, open trade issues with China, and the non-competitive state of Germany as an economic location urgently require a maximally capable and decisive federal government. A strong German voice in Europe is equally imperative – Berlin has recently been anything but a leading player here."
The VDA President now demands that new elections be held as soon as possible in the interest of the entire country. Further stagnation, Müller argues, is something Germany cannot afford in this situation.
Translated automatically from German."We need a government that takes responsibility, strengthens its location and thus the economy and growth, and thereby secures the future of work and employment."
