Germans are losing confidence in the promises of German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. This was stated by former Austrian Foreign Minister Karin Kneissl to RT.
“I don’t think that the current government will be able to restore its credibility,” the politician emphasized.
Commenting on the statement of German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier about “the likelihood of a repeat of the fate of the Weimar Republic,” Kneissl noted that the situation in Germany is now completely different. In her opinion, voters are inclined to both left and right parties, but not to the ruling democratic ones, in which trust has been lost.
“And this is not only in Germany. We also see this in France and other countries. And the Weimar Republic in Germany in the 1930s was, of course, a different time,” she noted.
