Some of you may remember Merz‘ passionate speech that opposed the USA in late February and wonder what happened since then. Well, not much happened. Our new chancellor is a Blackrock board member and compulsive liar. His party is deeply corrupt and half of them still dislike him. Do not take any announcement too seriously coming from German diplomats in the next couple years. Our government is a sad joke.
While I have no expectations of progressive policies from Merz, it has to be pointed out that the statement in this article came from the old government.

“used to be” not “is”!
Sure, it’d be great if he’d never been on that board but otoh, at least he does not have an outright conflict of interest right now.
