Germany’s economic crisis is self-inflicted — AfD official Kofner

Germany’s labor minister says wars, fiscal pressure and the country’s loss of technological leadership are weighing heavily on its economy.

Christopher Kofner, spokesperson for the State Committee of Budget and Taxes of AfD Bavaria, argues that Germany’s problems are largely self-inflicted. He points to high energy costs, taxation, bureaucracy, immigration policy, the shutdown of nuclear power and sanctions on Russian gas.
