The German budget abolishes “citizens' income” (basic welfare support) and imposes sweeping social cuts to finance rearmament, war and tax handouts for the wealthy, while expanding precarious work and social insecurity for millions.
Please tell me what part of the claim “the german government almost unanimously agrees to defund welfare in favour of militarism” is disinformation. I guess to some people, anything remotely critical of Europe (including the dictatorship of neoliberalism) is disinformation
For starter, the fact that I can’t find anything related to that in any local (France), German, European, or international news outlet. The closest thing there is is a change in unemployement benefits, replaced by a stricter (but with similar monthly amount) model (https://www.iamexpat.de/career/employment-news/german-cabinet-agrees-replace-burgergeld-neue-grundsicherung). Added with the absolute lack of any external source from this post’s link, a bit of caution sounds reasonable.
The whole 'article" is staged as it misses the point as half of the truth is not even mentioned. I won’t discuss articles published by such sources. It’s outright sensationalist bullshit.
I have my differences with the WSWS but you could be more specific about this article in particular. What is the half of the truth not mentioned? What part of complaining about budget cuts to welfare is sensationalist?
