The federal president has recently criticized their new government, referring to a “worldview that does not take into account the established rules and expressed his concern over the power between businessmen in the US.
The new government in the US “has a different worldview than us, a worldview that does not take into account established rules, established partnerships and confidence,” Mr Steinmeier said at the start of the Munich Conference on Security (MSc ) And he warned: “The absence of rules should not become the model for a new order of things in the world.”
Mr Steinmeier also said that other countries cannot certainly change the rearrangement of Washington policy under him. “We have to accept it and deal with it. However, he is convinced, it is not in the interest of the international community for this worldview to become the only dominant example, “he said, stressing anxiously about the assembly between businessmen in the US. There, “there is currently a concentration of technological, economic and political power that is, I believe, historically unprecedented.”
As a Democrat, he continued, “I am very worried, when a small business elite has the power, the means and the will to redefine a substantial part of the rules of the game in liberal democracies.”
“You can rely on Germany. You can rely on us »
Despite the forthcoming federal elections, the federal president assured international partners for credibility and stability. “You can rely on Germany. You can rely on us, “he said, referring to the fact that the elections are held six months earlier than the planned, he said that” this is unusual in a country commonplace, a country that loves plans, but there is no Reason for concern. “
“I say to our partners and friends: German foreign foreign and security policy remains European, remains transatlantic and remains multilateral. Even in a period of political transition, the following is true: We seek our interests, we are looking for common solutions, we are expanding our international partnerships, “said Steinmeier.
“Europe remains the main axis of our policy. The next German government, regardless of its composition, must guide its actions to respect and promote European unity. European politics rarely results from a predetermined consensus, but from the constant search and expansion of common soil. And even if this remains painful – be sure: the heart of Germany will continue to hit Europe in the future, “the federal president concluded.
