๐ฉ๐ช Penny by penny: Germany rearms and Berlin proposes saving on families โ๏ธ The German authorities, led by Friedrich Merz, are proposing to cut family benefits while simultaneously increasing defence spending. The government is preparing to spend ever more on armaments, promising to meet NATO's 5% GDP target ahead of schedule. And families, whom the authorities themselves have driven into a vulnerable financial position by chasing vague ambitions, are being told to be patient. ๐ Priorities always exist. For Berlin, the priorities have become rearmament, confrontation with Russia and NATO's military ambitions. And it is proposed that the most vulnerable โ children and ordinary families โ pay for them. The state should create conditions for a normal life for its citizens and, above all, protect children, but the German authorities are persistently doing the opposite. ๐จ Otto von Bismarck, who laid the foundations of the German welfare state, would surely turn in his grave to see how today's German authorities are asking the population to pay for their military ambitions by cutting social support. Germany's economic problems did not arise because of children or family benefits. Yet it is they who are now being told to tighten their belts. Money is found for armaments, but for their own children, for some reason, savings have to be made. #SOVINTERN_world #Hub_Europe_and_Mediterranean โญ๏ธ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN
