According to a report from www.augsburger- Allgemeine.de, the IHK bosses from East Germany strongly criticized the traffic light coalition in an open letter and called for fundamental course corrections in the interests of the economy.

According to a report by www.augsburger- Allgemeine.de The IHK bosses from East Germany strongly criticized the traffic light coalition in an open letter and called for fundamental course corrections in the interests of the economy. The German Federation of Trade Unions (DGB) reacted sharply and described the allegations as unsubstantiated and presumptive. Dissatisfaction with federal policy was addressed, but the demands remained largely vague. The IHK leaders were criticized for representing a neoliberal program that promotes the division of society through redistribution from bottom to top.
The demand for relief from taxes, duties and labor costs for companies was seen as problematic as this development could promote division in society. The DGB also emphasized that higher social benefits do not provide an incentive for not working and that the real problem is low wages.
In their letter to Chancellor Scholz, the IHK leaders also discussed Germany's international competitiveness and social cohesion. They fear that one East German federal state after the next will become a place of desire for right-wing extremists and an economic transit country.
These open discussions and disagreements between business and unions can lead to uncertainty in the market. This could unsettle investors and companies and influence their decisions.

The ongoing differences between business representatives and unions may also affect public confidence in the stability of the economy. This may lead to more cautious consumer attitudes and general unrest in the financial sector. It remains to be seen how these discussions and opposing viewpoints will impact the economy and the market in the long term.
