Just beginning, not end, says Merkel

By 638 0

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has appealed for greater participation of her country in the effort to help the continent of Europe recover from the crisis into which the continent has reached due to the coronavirus outbreak.

Ms. Merkel has reminded her countrymen about the need to remain clever and cautious, warning indirectly that what has passed is not the end phase but still just the beginning.

The comment which deserves serious attention has been made while speaking in the country’s parliament.

The European Union is scheduled to organise a video summit to discuss the matter of the coronavirus outbreak soon.

The latest stand of Germany is to be viewed through that prism.

Earlier, the EU countries failed to reach an agreement on how to handle the financial burden imposed by the virus outbreak.

Some EU countries which wanted a burden sharing openly criticised the attitude of certain countries in the union, which opposed the demand for the burden sharing formula.

The difference even threatened the stability of the union, when some countries expressed doubt in the capacity of the union.

As per the present EU law, countries cannot be made liable for each other’s debts.

The development indicates that in the upcoming video summit Germany may take a lenient stand on the matter of burden sharing.

Germany eases restrictions

By 584 0

The European countries of Germany have eased several restrictions brought in to contain the spread of the coronavirus outbreak.

The country has allowed its small shops, car dealerships and bicycle stores to resume its business activities.

Though the relaxation has been announced, the majority of the restrictions are expected to remain until it is decided otherwise.

Germany is one of the worst affected countries in the continent of Europe. Unlike many other European countries, it has brought the things under control in a quick manner.

In the coming days, the country is expected to announce more relaxations. It seems that it will not take too many days after the country to come back to normal.

The country is different from other European states which have suffered the heat of the virus outbreak. The mortality rate from Covid-19 of the country is far lower than the rates of many of its European counterparts.

The German health department deserves special appreciation for the way it has handled the virus outbreak.

The country has so far suffered a little more than 4,400 deaths due to the coronavirus outbreak.

By 598 0

The Greifswald Higher Court situated in the eastern part of Germany has found the regional government’s travel ban as disproportionate in curbing people’s local freedom.

The court has ordered that locals in that region can go to the popular Baltic coast this Easter weekend.

The ruling means despite the coronavirus lockdown the locals in this part of Germany can spent this Eater weekend on beaches.

Notably, the Germans from other regions lacks this freedom.

Interestingly, the Mecklenburg-West Pomerania government has not challenged the decision made by the top court of the region.

It is yet to be seen whether other less affected regions will follow the step taken by this state in this matter in the future.

Anyway, the locals of the region have been advised to stay 2m apart to reduce the threat of the spread of the virus.

Lockdowns are in force across Germany, but the restrictions vary from state to state. The toughest measures have been imposed in Bavaria and the Saarland.

The number of infections in Germany is over 1,18,000 cases and the total death toll is more than 2,600.

Germany accuses US of ‘Modern Piracy’

By 628 0

The European country of Germany has accused the North American country of the United States of America of ‘Modern Piracy’, as the latter has been provocatively redirected 200,000 Germany-bound masks for its own use.

As per a report, the shipment of FFP2 masks from the US which was supposed to reach Germany was interrupted in Bangkok and was redirected to the US.

The masks were ordered for the Berlin police department.

A senior minister based in Berlin has lashed out at the US for its provocative act at the time the world is undergoing a serious crisis. His assumption is that the masks were directed at the behest of the US government.

The US recently invoked a Korean-War-era law which makes the country easier to control how the companies operate in the country function.

The US has not yet commended on this matter. It is unclear at this moment how the move is going to affect the relation between Germany and the United States.

German conducts raids to contain Neo-Nazi movement

By 580 0

The European country of Germany, which is the successor of the dangerous Nazi Germany, has conducted raids in several locations across the country to contain the activities of a group linked to the Neo-Nazi movement.

Expressing his dissatisfaction towards the Neo-Nazi movement, a senior German minister has conveyed the country’s resolve to fight against the disastrous movement rightly.

The group is said to be very powerful in certain pockets in the country. It is said to have not less than 19,000 members in Germany.

During the raids, several documents – which indicate the group’s connection with the Neo-Nazi ideology – and firearms have been seized from the premises possessed by the group.

It is not the first time such a serious raid has been conducted across Germany to check the activities of the far-rightist group which is linked to the Neo-Nazi ideology.

Recently, a gunman, inspired by the corrupted ideology preached by the aforesaid group, attacked many people, who were nor completely German.

The rise of the Neo-Nazi group in Germany brings back the haunting memories of the Nazi Germany, which brought disaster in the entire Europe – rightly speaking, the entire world.

What Germany attempts at this moment is a well-thought-out move to counter the rebirth of the dangerous ideology.V

Far-rightist gains momentum in East Germany

By 676 0

Far-rightist groups have emerged powerful in certain regions in East Germany, which was once the stronghold of leftism.

East Germany was formerly a leftist controlled region. Post the Second World War, it fell under the influence of the USSR, which was then the apostle of global socialism.

The emergence of far-rightist in the east is not less than a surprise. It is actually a new phenomenon.

Prior to the fall of Berlin wall – the wall which separated the leftist controlled East Germany from the liberalist controlled West Germany, it was not even a distance possibility.

Sadly, what is witnessed at this point of time is a dangerous phenomenon. Lately, far-right groups have organised several attacks in the country.

Recently, around twelve members of a far rightist organisation have been booked by the German police as their involvement in several political crimes in the name of far-right has been identified.

As per a police report, they had intention to attack asylum seekers, religious centers and politicians.

The Germany government has stepped up their ante against the far-right. It has recently launched several operations to contain the activities of far-right in the country – especially in the eastern region of the country.
