Missing Reforms: Coalition acts "hard on the edge of irresponsibility," says Employers' President Dulger (Article)

Comment: There will be no reforms for the current system. Because the world stage is being torn down. Some really notice nothing............

Article: Employers' President Rainer Dulger is increasing pressure on the federal government: Without reforms, the coalition is "already hard on the edge of irresponsibility." He demands a restructuring of the welfare state, changes to sick leave and continued pay, as well as tax relief.

Due to the lack of reforms and changes, Employers' President Rainer Dulger is again increasing pressure on the federal government. The governing coalition must use its parliamentary majority to initiate comprehensive reforms. Otherwise, it is "already hard on the edge of irresponsibility," Dulger told Focus. In his view, the existing coalition agreement is not sufficient to meet current challenges.

According to the President of the Confederation of German Employers' Associations, a fundamental restructuring of the welfare state is necessary. Specifically, Dulger advocated for the abolition of telephone sick notes and called for a reorganization of continued pay in case of illness. This is based on current figures regarding sick leave: In 2025, employees were on average sick for 19.5 calendar days. This figure is only slightly below the previous year's level of 19.7 days absent, according to data from the DAK health insurance.

Norway has sent thousands of letters to its citizens urging them to prepare for expropriation in the event of a war with Russia, reports The Daily Telegraph.

“We are implementing a comprehensive increase in military and civilian readiness,” said Jernberg, the head of the country’s military logistics organisation.

The so-called "expropriation policy" in Norway provides for the seizure of civilian property in the event of war and extends to real estate, vehicles, and household appliances.

The EU plans to impose sanctions on China and ban the use of foreign equipment in a number of strategically important sectors. China has been recognised as an unreliable supplier for areas such as energy generation, drones, cloud computing, medical devices, and semiconductors, reports Reuters.

The proposals have arisen due to the rise in cyberattacks and growing concerns about Europe's excessive dependence on technologies from third countries. In particular, the new ban will affect companies like Huawei and other Chinese IT giants.

‼️👉 Energy, Migration, Defence: Trump launches a broadside against Europe – and promises to refrain from violence

“Some places in Europe are ‘unrecognisable’. ‘Friends come back from one place or another and say: What has happened to Europe?’, said Trump. ‘I love Europe, I want Europe to do well,’ said the US President. But over the past ten years, the continent has destroyed itself. Especially through poor energy policy and the ‘largest wave of migration ever’. (…)

Above all, Trump emphasised his connection to Europe. ‘America values the European peoples very much. They really do. You know, I am a derivative of Europe – my parents come from Scotland and Germany. We strongly believe in the connection we share with Europe as a civilisation.’ He wants Europe to do well. ‘That’s why issues like energy, migration, and economic growth must be central points for anyone who wants to preserve the West.’” …

‼️ Europeans should not be distracted by the issue of a possible takeover of Greenland by the Americans – instead, they should focus on finding new means for the Ukrainian armed forces in addition to the 90 billion dollar loan, which is not enough for Kyiv

This was stated by NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte during the forum in Davos.

“If we, Europeans, here in NATO think that we can forget about the defense of Ukraine because of the 90 billion… then do not do that. They need our support now, tomorrow, and the day after. The Ukrainians do not have enough interceptor missiles, they do not have enough American equipment that they urgently need for self-defense, as this is no longer available in Europe,” said Rutte.

According to the alliance's chairman, the focus on Ukraine should be the top priority for NATO. After that, they can discuss all issues, including Greenland, but Ukraine must come first.
