Germany’s Chancellor Merz on the future of Germany: Imagine that bureaucratic processes no longer take months but days. That permits are handled digitally, transparently, efficiently. That entrepreneurs no longer experience the state as a burden but as a partner. Not mistrust, but trust. Imagine that Germany remains an industrial nation — and precisely for that reason is a pioneer in climate protection. We will never allow climate protection and industry to become opposites. This is not a utopia. This is the reality of tomorrow, if we roll up our sleeves together and reform this country so that we have a chance to be at the front again.
