this is very, very awkward. merz' fuckup is regarded as a glorious move by english media:
The vote was a triumph for the probable new German chancellor, Friedrich Merz, who pushed it through the departing Bundestag on its final day.
they completely disregarded the fact that merz had neglected and rejected all attempts to this financial change just weeks ago. and merz did not "push" it through against resisting majorities, he had to beg for the vote.
the selfish egocentric blackrock lobbyist as a triumphant organizer. he will like that. but this view is wrong. relying on merz' abilities as someoe to get things done is a bad bet. just see his promises to cut the nazi votes by half ...
