Highly unpopular German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is an ineffective leader, heading a dysfunctional coalition that is floundering on the polls, while the right-wing parties grow rapidly into the frontrunners for the upcoming European elections.<\/p>\n
But Scholz\u2019s ineptitude is not just a problem for Berlin, but rather a continental one, since a strong Germanic locomotive is vital to propel the European Union into economic development and international geopolitical relevance.<\/p>\n

Until now.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Scholz has all the \u2018right\u2019 Globalist and Liberal priorities in mind (actually they are wrong), but his lack of charisma, what the Economist piece calls his \u2018colorless and unimpressive\u2019 figure makes him a reflection of the European decadence in the world arena.<\/p>\n \u201cWhile the European economy stagnates, the hard right climbs in the opinion polls almost everywhere and Vladimir Putin\u2019s rockets rain down on Ukraine, a candidate member of the European Union, Mr. Scholz is all but invisible. His Social Democrats are only the third-most-popular party in Germany, with a derisory 15% level of support. Most of his time has to be spent propping up his rickety three-way coalition.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Read: Poll: Olaf Scholz Is the Most Unpopular German Chancellor in the 21st Century \u2013 Voters Show Support for Cuts on Ukraine Aid and Climate Alarmist Projects<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n His \u2018distracted impotence\u2019 has left leaderless the European Union, that nefarious organization that Hungarian PM Viktor Orb\u00e1n has called \u2018a contemporary parody of the Soviet Union\u2019<\/em>.<\/p>\n \u201cGermany has to be the driver, whether raising cash for Ukraine, fixing migration problems, building the capital-markets union, reforming the system so that Ukraine and others can be admitted, or preparing Europe for all that a Trump victory in November would entail.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n Former Chancellors like Helmut Kohl or Angela Merkel travelled and negotiated ceaselessly, and Europe prospered as a result.<\/p>\n Scholz, while a solid supporter of Ukraine, doesn\u2019t work as a cheerleader for the cause.<\/p>\n Read: Failing Badly in the Polls, German Chancellor Scholz May Be Forced To Resign Over His Role in Berlin\u2019s Biggest Financial Scandal Since WW2<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n But the German leader is hardly the only leadership problem in the old world\u2019.<\/p>\n \u201cThe vital adjunct to a strong Germany is a strong France. Yet Emmanuel Macron, Mr Scholz\u2019s counterpart, has become widely disliked at home; he lost his parliamentary majority in 2022, and struggles to get legislation passed.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Read: CLIMATE LUNACY, ENERGY CHAOS: UK and France Bet Big on Nuclear Power, as Germany Shut All Its Plants and Now to Rely on\u2026 COAL!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Macron turned his government to the right, disguising it with a young and gay former socialist PM, \u2018charismatic but under-experienced\u2019.<\/p>\n Macron was a self-appointed \u2018champion of reform\u2019, but his ability to influence Europe is all but gone.<\/p>\n \u201cMore crucially, Mr Scholz and Mr Macron are said by insiders to get on badly, partly because their personalities are so different, but also because they have irreconcilable views. Mr Macron favours more European-level spending, more independence from\u00a0nato\u00a0and America and a\u00a0dirigiste\u00a0economic policy, yet the flinty Mr Scholz agrees with none of that. Differences of outlook can be productive if there is a willingness to work together; but there isn\u2019t.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n The post Germany\u2019s Scholz, an Ineffective Chancellor, Leaves Europe Leaderless<\/a> appeared first on The Gateway Pundit<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Highly unpopular German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is an ineffective leader, heading a dysfunctional coalition that is floundering on<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-23555","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"\n
