Robert Habeck is the Federal Minister of Economics. He visited the International Crafts Fair in Munich on Wednesday.
Craft businesses are unfamiliar with politics in general and the traffic light government in particular. They criticize what they see as excessive bureaucracy, the increased energy costs, and the difficult process of finding a majority within the government coalition. The crisis in housing construction is causing “huge concerns” for the trades, says Jörg Dittrich, President of the Central Association of German Crafts.
