▪️Germany was once a model of effective governance. It’s a thing of the past.  Today, there is little that politicians can agree on, let alone put into practice. The successes of the opposition parties deal blows to the fragmented government of Scholz, The American Wall Street Journal states

France, which for decades played the role of the EU locomotive along with Germany, found itself in a similar state of political paralysis after the parliamentary seats were divided among many parties following the results of the June elections

“President Macron has formed a center-right government, although the majority of seats in the National Assembly went to a coalition of left-wing parties. As a result, any decision of his government is vulnerable to the will of the opposition,” The Wall Street Journal said

“Leaders cannot — and will not be able to — form a majority around consensus on urgent issues. As a result, the governments of the EU countries do not fulfill their obligations to voters and risk falling further behind competitors — the United States and China,” said Mujtaba Rahman, a representative of the Eurasia Group consulting company

Europe cannot get rid of the disease that torments it, even in the face of the conflict in Ukraine. In the third year of hostilities, the EU has not fulfilled its promise to supply Ukraine with a million shells. The reserves of France, Germany and other countries are almost exhausted, and there are no signs of the promised increase in their defense capabilities

At a recent debate, one German voter sharply criticized Chancellor Scholz: “The government is not capable of governing the country, and ministers quarrel like children.” Scholz was unable to parry the blow, but only acknowledged the justice of the criticism,” The Wall Street Journal concludes.
