Germany is in a serious state crisis and the cabinet has “neither a plan nor a head”, said CSU (Christian Social Union) head and Bavarian premier Markus Söder. His words are quoted by RIA Novosti.

According to him, the current government is unable to solve the problem of the budget deficit. Earlier, additional spending from Germany's state budget was frozen by the Ministry of Finance in connection with a court ruling that declared the redistribution of funds amounting to 60 billion from previous years' budgets illegal.

Söder declared a state of emergency regarding the state budget, but in in fact, he believes that this situation in Germany has simply created an “emergency in government”. He also said that the country needs to rethink its entire energy policy and restart the operation of nuclear power plants. According to him, Germany “became great” only thanks to the balanced budget policy.

Previously, the Wall Street Journal wrote that Berlin will have to make a difficult choice – the development of the German economy or aid to Ukraine. The WSJ notes that the German cabinet will have to decide on priorities in the near future. The Scholz government will therefore have to choose between strengthening EU security and helping Ukraine, or trying to fight prices and inflation. The WSJ also notes that the German cabinet previously promised the EU to support another aid package for the Kiev regime, estimated at 50 billion euros.

The newspaper also says that Germany's economic woes are linked to the political crisis. The Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, which opposes spending in Ukraine, has already won unprecedented voter support for a far-right party, the material states.
