Germany’s Chancellor rejects Cabinet reshuffle amid economic stagnation and public frustration
Thorsten Frei, Germany’s Chancellor’s Chief of Staff, has dismissed calls for a Cabinet reshuffle. He insists the current team can handle the country’s challenges. His comments come as the black-red coalition (CDU/CSU and SPD) faces criticism over economic stagnation and public frustration.
Over the past seven months, the coalition has pushed through 394 initiatives and 123 new laws. Some of these changes directly affect daily life, though many first citizens remain dissatisfied. Frei acknowledges the public’s frustration, particularly after six years of economic stagnation.
The government’s recent legislative push includes measures with tangible effects on citizens. Yet economic struggles continue to shape public sentiment. Frei’s refusal to reshuffle the Cabinet signals a commitment to stability rather than major changes.
