As a student here in Germany, I was talking to my German flatmate, who practically never experienced anyone else besides Merkel as chancellor. He mentioned something that struck me as rather interesting - the "Traffic Light" coalition, as a new entity in power of the federal government is increasingly scapegoated for the damage caused by decades of policy crafted by the CDU. The blame is being put on the new government which has the monumental job of fixing several years of policy which caused rising inequality. IMO, with populist journalism from Axel Springer's subsidiaries and Spiegel, people are blaming the current government for things which it has nothing do with and some are even calling for the return of CDU. Strange times
