Germany: The country's escalating energy crisis and rising inflation will be addressed more aggressively, according to Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who also expressed confidence that there will be no unrest in Germany this winter, the first without Russian energy supplies. There will be times

According to Stefan Kramer, head of the Thuringian Office for the Protection of the Constitution, Germany is experiencing a "winter of fury" due to the imminent "violent" protests against the backdrop of the coronavirus pandemic, the Ukraine crisis, economic difficulties and the United States. energy crisis.

In response to issues that "are threatening our existence in decline," such as "gas shortages, energy difficulties, supply issues, possibly recessions, unemployment, but also rising poverty reaching the middle class," Kramer predicts. that there would be "legitimate opposition."

However, "experiences of the past few months suggest that resilience is waning and aggression is increasing, even as calls for violence in some segments of the population are on the rise," he said. How can it be developed?

In light of the fact that such a state of extreme emotional and existential crisis would have an impact on a large segment of the population, he continued, "we must be prepared for it."

You may recall that Berlin Food Bank founder [Sabine] Werth recently said that they are seeing an increase in the number of people using food banks to get groceries, including middle class people, because they are unable to do so. Do this elsewhere.

According to Kramer, when the so-called middle class also faces existential challenges and feels threatened, it is another alarm signal.

He stressed that every effort is being made by the Thuringian Office to preserve the Constitution, to maintain law and order at all times.

To avoid supporting opponents of democracy, he advised "carefully considering which protests and demonstrations to attend, or better yet, stay away."

According to him, Germany is dealing with "an overly emotional, aggressive, pessimistic mood among the population whose trust in the state, its institutions and political actors is at least in part suffering from widespread suspicion" as a result of the pandemic and the recent international events.

What is happening in Germany?

Amid a dire energy crisis, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz insisted on Thursday that he did not anticipate any protests in the nation, adding that the government's backing measures would be successful.
After announcing a 30-billion-euro package earlier this year to help the public beat inflation, which included a fuel tax cut and a cheaper public transport ticket for the summer, he helped Germans fight rising inflation. and promised to introduce additional measures to avoid the energy crisis. ,

The comments were made as Germany's inflation rate, which is expected to rise as winter approaches, reached 7.5 percent in July. The German government has taken steps to reopen hard coal-fired power plants as part of efforts to reduce the country's reliance on Russian natural gas. Additionally, the government has taken steps to fill gas storage facilities before winter to reduce gas consumption.

Jochen Brühl, chairman of the federal food bank umbrella organization Tafel Deutschland, issued a warning last month that food banks would soon be unable to handle the influx of people as the number of customers reached a record high, causing insult to injury. .
Brühl claims that more than 2 million people struggling with poverty use free food services.
