The projection came from bodies including the Ifo Institute and the Hall Institute for economic research, which cited slow Industrial Production and private consumption. Germany policy makers face challenges on multiple fronts including. Including inflation, weakness in manufacturing and the impact of record eurozone interest rates. Spain is also dealing with similar economic grows, amits skyrocketing inflation, mainly due to higher electricity and fuel prices. Official figures this month showed that Consumer Prices rose 3. 5 yearonyear, about 1 higher than august. Christopher is an author and politician who joins us from berlin. Welcome to the program. You know if you do a simple search uh on the internet as to why germany is experiencing this recession, the number one answer that keeps popping up is uh the high inflation. Um, is that accurate . Is that true to tribute germany being in a recession because of high inflation and if so uh what sectors are being um impacted by that in order for the country to slide into a recession or to be in a recession . Okay, lets put it this way, the inflation is only follow up to the Higher Energy prices and that is what our media keep silent about due to political reasons, so in fact to speak correctly to you, they are lying these media, so what is the main branch or what are the the parts of the economy which are most hit, of course those parts which are dependent on energy price. The higher the dependence, of course, the higher the pressure, in fact escape from germany, and thats what we have, just yesterday, i talked to the head of consulting company, which is consulting with small and medium size, economic issues, companies and they tell them, leave germany, this is it, they are fleeing from germany and that situation is not pointed out in the figures we hear, and i think the figures are false, and what the institutions who are all full of, you know, washington, compliant, figures, people, executives, it is very clear that these people also dont speak the truth, germany is going down rapidly, and the figures dont show that. Well, you know, when you look at what the german politicians have said, um, im looking through at some of the solutions that came out year ago um on uh how its going to solve its Energy Crisis uh remember when they said they sealed a deal with qatar or when they went and said they are going to be building their own infrastructure based here a deadline which was uh the end of 2022 and uh other solutions in terms of replacing basically russian oil or russian gas in particular why did none of that um pan out so that. They would not be experiencing the high energy prices, mean where does that stand anyways when it comes to energy . Where is germany getting its energy from right now . So we are trying to make ends meet, and the washington posts in the recent article uh about which i talked to the to the russian tv, was in fact, look, the germans are not in such a bad situation, the economy is going down, and since the economy is going down, they will need less energy, that was the washington. And i said this article is racist, its cynical, and that is what the truth is, so where do we get our energy from, we buy it five times the russian price from the free market, and the crazy story of it is, we buy russian oil and russian gas from the international market, sometimes from india, even still being russian gas and russian oil and thats how we get our energy, and that of course is crazy, i mean we pay it until. 2035 for northstream gas, we have paid for it, its a contract, we pay for it, and we forfeed this paid gas and buy more gas. Additional gas five times the price, so this is at the backbone, at the background of German Economy right now, its crazy, well thats insane when you think about it, because you were getting that price, uh, yes, i understand there was a war that uh russia, has imposed on ukraine, but to buy that price in the free market, the same, the same product, which is russian product, as you said that goes through india, go ahead, go ahead, war was not imposed by ukraine. By russia on ukraine, it was vice versa, ukraine in january, february, mid february 2022, had started the war on the population of donbas, that was the point, and the war started 2014 after the maydan, so this was russia reacting to a war already being started by kiev on behalf of washington, thats the situation, so russia is in no way culpate to any kind of you know sanctions or some. Somebody needing to be punished, and in fact by the sanctions we punished ourselves, so uh, what are they going to, they have an theres an american uh expression, wake up and spell the coffee, either the officials in germany or the eu itself, which in which germany is supposed to be the powerhouse, i mean the ship is sinking so to speak, theres got to be point where theyre going to say, well this is this is enough, when do you think that is, do you think theyre going to do that . Well, lets put it this way, im very close. To those quarters who decide that now is enough, and i see that the germans simply are too slow right now, thats a very dangerous situation, we are so accustomed to progress and to higher wages and positive development, we are also so accustomed to believing in our liar media, in these two issues, you know, make very, very explosive mixture of deceiving ourselves in the man. The german people, and thats happening right now with the population, its not happening with the heads of companies and that means heads of companies and population are quitting each other, population stays here, Companies Move out, and next year its going to be crazy, but then its nearly too late to do anything, and next year is coming up rather quickly, uh, but thats all the time we have, thank you so much for your input, christopher, still there, author and politician, thank you so much.

There is no discontinuity between the old and new National Airline, an italian judge has ruled the position of brussels on the deal nonbinding, and us workers should be rehired.
