WELT AM SONNTAG:
Mr. Reitzle, the Corona crisis has robbed many Germans of their illusions about this republic.
They don't recognize a country that they thought was progressive, organized, digitized and well managed.
Was modern Germany a mirage?
Wolfgang Reitzle:
There have already been numerous indications that there is a discrepancy between appearance and reality in Germany: The fact that, despite a defense budget of 47 billion euros, rifles do not fire, tanks do not drive and aircraft do not fly does not seem to upset anyone in our country anymore but probably registered in other countries.
The inability to build an airport for our capital has amazed the whole world.
WELT AM SONNTAG:
The public accepts it with devotion.
