“Germany is questioning the future of the European project.”
Nothing to do with my comment.
The comment I replied to said:
“If Merz could work on getting the economy started instead of parroting AfD shit, i would be so happy”
Going from a shrinking economy to a growing economy is literally the first step. Again, if that is not enough for you personally, fine, you do you.
What I am saying is that there was a positive change in the economy. Backed up with a source.
Argue all you want, what I said was accurate.

1·24 days agoCan I take this back to the start.
Comment 1 says the economy is bad.
I said, it has actually grown in 2025 for the first time in 3 years. Then linked a source.
I feel Ike you are moving the goal posts to make a point when all I did was contradict someone and give a source.

11·24 days agoThe comment was that the economy needs to improve, and according to Reuters, it has.
If you know if another method of showing the health of a countries finances and can show it hasn’t improved I would be happy to read about it.

22·24 days agoSo the economy is up, deficit is down, but it’s not being done in the way you want, so it’s bad?
I really can’t see your point.

31·24 days agoThe previous comment said “work on getting the economy started”. I’m saying from a declining economy to a growing economy is making a start. In the face of tariffs from the US hurting exports I’d say it’s not the worst start either.
If you are expecting a full turn around in a year and saying anything less is a failure, I think you need to adjust your expectations.
Edit: as an addition from the article
Despite a 5.1% increase in government expenditure in 2025, the financial deficit was almost 8 billion euros lower than the previous year because revenue grew 5.8%.
You can have an issue with his policy, all I’m saying is that from an economic perspective, it seems to be an improvement.

It’s not hugely impressive but after 2 years of decline, the economy rising by 0.2% in 2025 is a noticeable improvement.
