Olaf Solz will address the Germans with an emergency televised address on Sunday, for the second time since taking office, the Bild newspaper reports. As for the first time, on February 24, the main topic of his speech will be the war in Ukraine.
Sunday marks 77 years since the defeat of Nazism and the capitulation of Germany after World War II, an anniversary celebrated as “Liberation Day”. The next military parade in Moscow is scheduled for the next day, with attention focused on possible announcements by Vladimir Putin about the war in Ukraine.
At the same time, Germany is for the first time in decades embarrassed by managing emerging shortages and price increases for fuel and other basic necessities. The general secretary of the ruling Liberal Party (FDP), Bijan Djer-Sarai, predicts significant cuts for Germans as a result of the war and speaks of a “loss of prosperity”. “In Germany we have no recent experience of losing prosperity. It is something we have not seen in decades. We will need to change. Dealing with the economic consequences of the coronavirus pandemic is already a huge challenge and now comes this horrible war that is changing things again. “The consequences of the war affect all sectors – energy policy, economy, rural development, fiscal policy,” he told AFP.
