New Vance Salt Sold
In response, Mr Salts acknowledged the historical significance of German-American relations, characterizing key issues of security and economy, while at the same time accusing the US vice president of intervening in Germany. “If we approach the issue with calmness, we can jointly develop policies, even when things get difficult,” the Chancellor assured.
“Relations with the US have been a kind of ‘life insurance’ for Germany for decades. We must, however, reject the idea that a US vice president is interfering with the German election campaign and says that far -right parties are not so bad. This also applies to the dispute over punitive tariffs. In this regard, the attitude of confidence also helps, “said Overf Saltz, recalling that he publicly criticized US President Donald Trump’s statements on.
Overfy Saltz has received questions from a nurse who, although he received a pension after 45 years of work, is forced to continue working. He said that the Social Democratic Party’s electoral program () provides for stable pensions and was in favor of increasing pensions at wages without increasing the age of retirement. “Anyone who worked for so many years as a nurse should be able to live by his pension,” he noted.

Friedrich Mertz: “Lift up the sleeves”
Friedrich Mertz asked everyone to “pick up the sleeves” and work for the country’s economic recovery, saying that anyone who can work but do not lose the social welfare allowance.
“Without ‘excessive’ demands, there is no recovery,” he said. In questions about the immigration, he reiterated that anyone who is illegally in the country must be expelled. A woman criticized the fact that after the attacks of foreigners, emphasis was placed on the origin of the perpetrator and not e.g. In the fact that he is suffering from mental illness and asked Mr Mertz what he intends to do in order for these people to get help.
“The problem is that mental illnesses are not adequately treated in Germany, especially for people with immigration background,” the woman insisted, questioning the effectiveness of the plan to close the border.
The Union candidate answered a question: “Do you think we should continue as in recent years? Is this the solution? ” First of all, he continued, “we will ensure that those with no permanent residence will leave the country as soon as possible (…) we cannot provide psychiatric care to hundreds of thousands of people. They have to leave the country! “
The awkward question to Videl for her migrant partner
An even more restrictive policy on immigration and asylum was advocated by Alice Weidel, although he admitted that Germany needed specialized immigrants.
“Asylum seekers migration must be separated from the immigration of employees. The illegals are no longer welcome, we will expel them, “he said, insisting that immigrants under a subsidiary residence permit, which temporarily suspended the expulsion decision should not be granted a work or training permit. “This also applies to foreign people who attend nursing education,” he answered asked.
However, anyone who can migrate as an employee if he has completed nursing training, he said. “If he has training, he is very welcome.”
In European politics, Alice Weidel said her party is not in favor of Germany’s exit from the European Union, but in favor of transferring powers from Brussels to national institutions. He even put an example of the decision to gradually abolish the internal combustion engines, which, he said, cannot be taken by the European bodies that are not democratically elected and therefore “non -legalized”.
Asked how she is in line with her position in the AfD leadership that she is married to a woman from Sri Lanka, Mrs. Widel was limited to saying that “everyone should be able to have a family as they want. Cohabitation between same sex people should be treated as a marriage, “but without affecting the institution of marriage between man and woman,” he added.

Asked “how people could be liberated by the oligarchs of technology”, Greens’ candidate Habek described the US President Donald Trump’s cooperation with Ilon Musk.
