If you look at Germany from afar, you can get the impression that the country is led by two federal chancellors. Olaf Scholz is still officially in office, but wants to leave and Friedrich Merz, the designated Federal Chancellor, is still working on his governing coalition. The old Bundestag is now making history and is paving the way for taking on hundreds of billions in future debts, largely to rearm the Bundeswehr. How could that happen? Dieter Herrmann, editor-in-chief of WEEK IN AUSTRALIA, comments on what happened. - Wenn man aus der Ferne nach Deutschland blickt, dann kann man den Eindruck bekommen, das Land würde von zwei Bundeskanzlern geführt. Offiziell im Amt ist immer noch Olaf Scholz, möchte aber weg und Friedrich Merz, der designierte Bundeskanzler, zimmert noch immer an seiner Regierungskoalition. Der alte Bundestag schreibt inzwischen Geschichte und macht den Weg frei für die Aufnahme von Hunderten von Milliarden an zukünftigen Schulden, zum großen Teil für eine Aufrüstung der Bundeswehr. Wie konnte das passieren? Dieter Herrmann, Chefredakteur der WOCHE IN AUSTRALIEN, kommentiert das Geschehen.
