In Germany when it comes to a coalition there is a coalition contract where the parties explain what they are planning. It is a "grand coalition" between CDU/CSU and SPD. I voted for the SPD socialdemocratic party. I think it is the best coalition of all bad options. However, they plan radical reforms for unemployed people.
They get less money, get more sanctions and for me by far the worst they decrease the amount of savings you are allowed to keep. It was 15k. Which was very very good for me. I am so scared about poverty and having savings reduces my fears. Now they want to couple the amount of savings you are allowed to keep with your "Lebensleistung"/ life time production. Well I have none. I am very disabled and mentally ill since I am 15. I am now allowed to keep maybe only 2 k. With the prior welfare program it was around 2-3 k . Which is utterly ridiculous. And it is clear who will profit of this program. The right-wing populist party. That's more than obvious. Austerity (on social programs) strengthens right-wing populists. They are thinking in short term perspectives. I think the right-wing extreme party is very dangerous for our democracy because they will pressure minorites and vulnerable people. But now imagine the perspective for people like me. Who gives a fuck? The SPD is now a traitor party. I certainly won't vote for the AfD in the next election. But many poor people will. Solely as a form of revenge. Surveys show for the first time in history the AfD is the strongest party in Germany. No question their policies will be way worse for poor people. And they will do politics for the rich. It will be like Trump. And I cannot understand why people don't understand that in my country. Trump damages our economy heavily. At the same time the turnmoil leads to more AfD voters.
