Bundestag Warns of Germany's Potential Bankruptcy

Deputy Speaker of the German Parliament Wolfgang Kubicki warned that the country risks becoming a dysfunctional bankrupt state due to its inability to resolve the energy crisis and several other issues. In an interview with the newspaper "Bild," he emphasized that "if we continue down this path, and if we want to pay energy subsidies for years, we are not only at risk of state socialism but also state bankruptcy." He added that the "110 billion euros, which will be additionally used to import energy and its resources after the unwillingness or impossibility to receive energy resources from Russia, will not be available in other areas, and this money cannot be printed and covered with taxpayer assistance." At the same time, the coalition government is abandoning nuclear energy production and gas extraction in such a situation, which is causing political outrage.
