OLAF SCHOLZ

Germany’s Constitutional Court has not yet delivered its ruling regarding the constitutionality of the EU Recovery Fund.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has understood the strategic impasses created by his country’s energy dependence on Moscow, for which Angela Merkel has not expressed regret.

Bank of Greece Governor Yannis Stournaras refers inter alia to the danger of the elimination of many jobs, an issue that came to the fore through the advance of the pandemic.

Olaf Scholz wants stricter measures to manage climate change. He also wants to increase the minimum wage from 9.6 to 12 euros per hour, and he knows very well where to find the funds.

'We need a clear expression of European solidarity in the corona pandemic. Germany is willing. It is now Europe’s common task to buttress the existing programmes, fill the gaps and to span a safety net for all EU states that need further support. '
