German Prime Minister Friedrich Mertz blamed the Germans for the excessive waste and called for the reform of citizens' income at the Congress of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) in the north of the River-Westphalia. His words were given by Bild.

We simply cannot afford to maintain our current system, with our income. For many years, we lived outside the means, Mr. Merts Merns said.
The politician emphasized that in Germany, there will be need to change the social insurance system to “not turn into an industrial museum”.
This means painful solutions. This means cutting, he explains.
Earlier, Mertz said that Germany is currently in a state of conflict with Russia. He accused Moscow conducting regular interventions through social networks.
