Exclusive investigation: Bernard de la Villardière went to Germany
“Driving force of the European economy for two decades, Germany is now in crisis. The awakening is brutal for the third economic power in the world. The good student of Europe sees its exports slowing down, its prices increasing and its population worrying about its downgrading. While the country is mired in recessionpart of its middle class has fallen into poverty. This context contributes to the inexorable progression of the AfD“, first indicated M6 in a press release.
“The far-right German party has a string of electoral successes with a violently anti-immigration discourse which, until then, was confined to small neo-Nazi groups. Some of the most radical far-right activists now dare to come out into the open, particularly in the small town of Kloster Vessra, in former East Germany. Their HQ is a well-known restaurant in the city center: the neo-Nazi clientele unashamedly orders beers celebrating the ‘Reich’ and stocks up on t-shirts and mugs glorifying the country’s Nazi past. Germany, which believed itself to be sheltered from radical excesses, is today violently confronted with it“, the channel then added.
Germany: the fall of the model country?
“The spiral of economic difficulties seems to get worse every day. The automotive sector and its myriad subcontractors are at the heart of an unprecedented crisis. The famous German cars face competition from Chinese electric vehicles. In three years, Asian brands have eaten up 6% of the market across the Rhine. Result, many companies in the sector are forced to lay off workers. Volkswagen, the leading European manufacturer, has even announced the closure of three of its ten German factories. A first since its creation in 1937“, also underlined M6.
“In terms of energy, the country, long a leader in a greener Europe, is today its biggest polluter. Germany had bet everything on Russian gas, the guarantor of low-cost energy. But today, in Lubmin, in the north of the country, the Nordstream 2 gas pipeline terminal is just a memory. And with the war in Ukraine, the cost of energy is exploding. The much-vaunted German energy transition is stalling. The country, which has closed its nuclear power plants, is maximizing the exploitation of its coal deposits, which are particularly polluting. Gigantic open-air mines like that of Garzweiler, in North Rhineland, devour entire villages in order to expand. Is the German model running out of steam?“, the channel finally concluded.
