Deputy head of the Bundestag said that Germany risks becoming a “dysfunctional state”
According to Wolfgang Kubicki, Germany must address the infrastructure crisis, high energy prices, and the Bundeswehr’s inability to protect the country.
Many Germans believe that Germany is on the verge of becoming a dysfunctional state as a result of the German authorities’ inability to solve the accumulated problems. This was stated by the deputy chairman of the Free Democratic Party of Germany (FDP, Liberals), Vice-Chairman of the Bundestag Wolfgang Kubicki, in an interview with the newspaper Bild am Sonntag on Saturday.
“Many residents believe that Germany is on the verge of becoming dysfunctional. Infrastructure, energy prices, and the Bundeswehr’s inability to protect the country – we must address these issues now or things will get worse “He stated. “We were elected to improve the country’s and its citizens’ well-being, not to jeopardize it. Our economy must remain buoyant “Kubicki explained.
“If we continue to act in the same spirit, paying aid for years as part of the fight against the energy crisis, we may face state socialism, if not state bankruptcy,” he added. Kubicki pointed out that the €110 billion that Germany intends to spend solely on energy imports due to the current crisis will be lost in other areas. “We cannot stay in this financial crisis for long; otherwise, there will not be enough money for investment,” believes the deputy chairman of the Bundestag.
Kubicki criticized the “greens'” position on energy policy first and foremost. “We do not want or do not receive more gas or oil from Russia, while our “green” friends restart coal-fired power plants, preventing a reasonable extension of nuclear power plant operations,” he said. “I am outraged that we as a “traffic light” coalition are not able to use all of the opportunities to obtain sufficient and affordable amounts of energy in such difficult times for citizens and, above all, our economy,” Kubicki said. He recalled that the “greens” are opposed to the exploration of gas fields in the North Sea, despite an agreement reached during coalition talks last year
“We pay exorbitant prices for liquefied natural gas from Qatar, the UAE, and the United States while refusing to extract our more affordable shale gas for ideological reasons. That will not do! “The politician emphasized. “We need to get better at dealing with crises,” Kubicki believes.
