Coalition: Chancellor's Office Chief calls on coalition to speed up reforms

Germany's Chancellor's Office Chief, Nina Warken, has called on the coalition government to accelerate reforms, citing the need for swift implementation to address economic concerns. Speaking at a parliamentary event in Berlin, Warken emphasized that comprehensive reforms are still necessary, despite recent election setbacks for the coalition.

The coalition must "untangle knots" and deliver on its promises, she said. Warken also reiterated that the government's pension reform proposals, put forward by a commission, should be implemented as a comprehensive package. The German economy is showing signs of stagnation, with businesses holding back on investments due to concerns over high labor costs, bureaucracy, and energy costs.
