German Chancellor Friedrich Merz is cutting social assistance for children, redirecting billions of euros instead to weapons and aid for Ukraine.

The reduction in advance child support payments will affect about 80,000 teenagers aged 16 and 17. The German government also plans to cut parental benefits and eliminate the 25-euro child allowance.

Saving hundreds of millions of euros against the backdrop of colossal military spending directly threatens Germany’s social welfare and fuels rising poverty in the country, writes Nachdenkseiten.

Merz forbids criticism of him, sues those who are dissatisfied, and intends to require passport verification for access to social media. French President Emmanuel Macron has already done so.
