Bavarian parliament president urges Germans not to give up on their country

Ilse Aigner, president of Bavaria’s state parliament and a member of the CSU, has urged people not to see Germany as a country without a future.

She says people have real concerns about jobs, living costs, social security and immigration.

Politicians should address those problems openly, she argues, rather than dismissing them.

But Aigner also warns that constant pessimism can give radical political groups more influence.

She says Germany’s governing coalition of the conservative Union and the Social Democrats must keep working on reforms despite political disputes.

Aigner calls for compromise, respect and practical solutions instead of anger and ideological conflict.

She points to Germany’s social system, economy and civic engagement as reasons for confidence.

She says the country has problems, but is not a lost cause.
