Germany's new government under Chancellor Friedrich Merz is already almost as unpopular as the previous one, due to quarrelling over government spending. That's according to the latest ARD-Deutschlandtrend survey.
How should any current or future German PM navigate the increased foreign political influence by foreign antidemocratic institutions, like those by Russia, CCP and Heritage Foundation , via Afd ?
And, which three policy areas should German Politics focus on the next years, according to your pov?
Ban all (social) media that offers paid political advertisement at decix / BGP level 4 months prior to elections. Likely unpopular due to the high number of media addicts in society, but I bet it would be vastly effective.
Probably would work to outlaw paid political advertisement on all channels with every violation doubling the fine, but this is not as reliable as the former, because of the “culture war” angle. Plus, it would get drawn out in court until after the election, so not a good solution.
