Mixed-bag.
Coalition now is talking of cutting drastically into Burger-geld (welfare)....particularly aiming at Ukrainians...get a job, or go home. Limited placement time coming for them, with language classes to get them set for work.
I noticed today...the basic info package for welfare will now only come in German (not the nine languages as before).
Added this AM...new poll says AfD 2 points above CDU-CSU (leading nationally now). National election is 3.5 years away, but they are aiming at state of B-W for March 2026 state election...might be very close between CDU and AfD.
Key factor is that birth rates are down....commerce now worried about not enough workers to fill requirements.
