Prominent economist Hans-Werner Sinn has put forward a radical plan to unwind 15 years of policies from the Angela Merkel era, asserting that Germany is currently experiencing its most severe crisis since World War II. Sinn attributes the nation's predicament to a combination of geopolitical shifts and flawed policy decisions.
In related economic news, the German solar industry faces a significant downturn, with warnings of insolvencies and job losses as feed-in tariffs conclude. Additionally, new political rankings indicate a decline for Manuela Schwesig and Alice Weidel, while the AfD maintains a lead of over ten points nationally. The CDU has also reportedly fallen to a record low in Hesse, with the AfD trailing by only two points.
Public safety incidents include reports of shots fired in Lower Saxony and a car ramming into a group of people near Hanover, with suspects currently at large. Meanwhile, the building industry has criticized a draft law for a new building type, calling it disappointing, and the CDU/CSU opposition has expressed doubts about a new law aimed at accelerating construction projects.
