Germany's Labor Minister Bahr criticizes Chancellor Mertz's statement that the welfare state is too expensive!
As the German Chancellor, Mertz is only a representative of a political alliance, but has no power to decide the fate of Germany.
The German Minister of Labor and Social Policy from the Social Democratic Party, Bernd Bahr, is angry at Mertz's statement that the era of prosperity in Germany has ended, and Germany can no longer afford to fund the social welfare system.
"All these statements about us not being able to afford social security and social welfare, I'm sorry, are complete nonsense. From the perspective of social cohesion, the state is important. If Mertz is worried about not being able to maintain the welfare state, then let him think about how to attract the wealthy class!"
Bernd Bahr clearly stated that Mertz has no right to decide whether Germany should be a welfare state. The task of the German government is to ensure social security related to the people under any circumstances.
