原文摘录:

Meng Hong, a senior researcher in the School of Global and Area Studies at Renmin University of China, said the protests by farmers and strikes by rail drivers are driven by their specific demands, but the deeper reason lies in Germany's severe economic difficulties, accompanied by increasing criticism of the coalition government by the general public.

"Since 2008, the German economy has been struggling. It initially faced the impact of the European debt crisis, followed by the repercussions of the refugee crisis. The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine for two years has had a significant impact on the German economy, affecting the lives of individuals across various sectors in Germany," she said.

Social instability

The protests and strikes would cause economic losses and even social instability in the country, Meng said. Although the German government is not considering further changes to its plans to phase out agricultural subsidies, prominent politicians have expressed concerns that the unrest could be exploited by extremist groups and are closely monitoring the situation's development.
