GERMAN INDUSTRIAL DEVASTATION AND NOW US TARIFFS

THE EU SANCTIONS are really hitting Europe and the UK hard: Washington Occupied Germany (WOG) loses 120,000 manufacturing employees in just 1 year:

An employers’ association calls the decline in jobs ‘alarming’ and demands a ‘change of policy’

Germany saw a drastic drop in employees in its manufacturing sector last year, falling by 120,000 positions in 2024, according to the Federal Employment Agency (BA).

The emerging Weimar Republic catastrophe beckons: Approximately 6.67 million people worked in the sector in January, compared to 6.79 million just a year earlier, with small and medium-sized companies seeing the sharpest drop in employee numbers.

The decline has been relentless, with the Federal Employment Agency stating that the number of employees has been falling every month since August 2023. With Germany’s economy under its left-liberal government greatly struggling, the manufacturing sector was one of the hardest hit.

The right, in particular the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, has long gone on the attack over Germany’s rapid deindustrialization under a hapless government led by the Social Democrats (SPD) and the Greens. The party’s co-leader, Alice Weidel, called German Chancellor Olaf Scholz the ‘chancellor of decline’ last year.

The data also shows that the number of people registering as unemployed in the industrial sector was significantly higher in 2024 than in previous years, amounting to 285,000 people.

The employers’ association Gesamtmetall said the decline in jobs was ‘alarming’ and called for a ‘change of policy,’ according to a report from Welt. The association called for changes to the electricity tax, the abolition of the solidarity charges, and a lower corporate tax rate.

Critics say that Germany’s government has pursued a green policy that has led to overregulation, soaring energy costs, and a flight of capital.

In addition, the loss of cheap energy from Russia, which the AfD and the left-wing BSW argue is a self-inflicted wound that should be immediately reversed, has made German industry less competitive, particularly energy-intensive industries such as chemical production.

With remarkable foresight Adolf Hitler in 1923 predicted a defeated post-war German Government: ‘Then things will come to such a pass that we shall be a people working for alien masters.  Germany will be a plantation worked at the will of the alien, the victim of alien cupidity, with a government which has ceased to be a government at all since it governs no longer; it is but a bailiff carrying out the orders of foreign powers.’   Munich. 20th April 1923.
