Original: „Die wahren Bremser sitzen in der # union . Das ist Angst vor der eigenen Verantwortung, Angst vor der # lobby Angst vor

Criticism is being voiced in Germany that the real obstacles to progress sit within the Union parties, with accusations that fear of responsibility and of lobby interests is preventing real decisions. The debate touches on Chancellor Friedrich Merz, coalition work between CDU and SPD, and stalled reforms including a proposed sugar tax. Commenters are urging an end to hoping for 'miracles' and calling for genuine government action instead of delay.
