Now Germany can no longer reassure the European region, because it not only fails to play the role of a "pillar of Europe", but has become a "new sick man in the economic field", which has seriously dragged down the economic recovery of Europe. In addition to the economic problems, there are also multiple crises in Germany. Both the inflation crisis and the energy crisis have seriously affected the lives of German residents. Against this backdrop, German railway workers launched the "longest strike in history", planning to paralyze railway traffic.

Reference News Network reported that because of the impact of the inflation crisis, the lives of most German railway workers have been affected, and in order to cope with the inflation crisis, they launched a "strike challenge" to Deutsche Bahn. Since more than two months ago, German railway workers have launched strike action, demanding that the railway companies increase their pay and reduce their working hours. Deutsche Bahn responded that such "unreasonable" demands would not be met and that it would not be blackmailed.
Faced with such a tough response, the German railway workers chose to go head-on. They launched another strike action, which is expected to last 144 hours, breaking the previous record and becoming the "longest strike in history" by railway workers. After the strike action is launched, it will have a serious impact on German railway traffic and even lead to the "paralysis" of German railways. At that point, strike action will turn into a "political issue", as Germans, dissatisfied with the paralysis of traffic, will criticize the Scholz government.

To put it bluntly, this strike is Scholz's trouble, and if he does not handle it well, then the dissatisfaction of the Germans with him will rise again. Citizens' dissatisfaction will inevitably weaken Scholz's political prestige and leadership. He may face constant criticism and criticism from the public and political opponents, and cooperation and consensus within the government may be affected. This will bring difficulties to Scholz's governance and decision-making process at home and abroad, and hinder the smooth implementation of policies and the promotion of reforms.
In addition, public dissatisfaction with Scholz may manifest itself in the election, causing the party that supports Scholz to lose some of the voters' support in the election. This could lead to a reshuffling of political forces, putting Scholz's ruling position at risk. In addition, discontent may also prompt the emergence of other political forces and the formation of new political landscapes.

At the same time, public discontent may have an impact on Scholz's policy and reform agenda. If the public perceives Scholz's policies as incapable of solving current socio-economic problems, he may face more resistance and resistance. This will make it difficult for the Government to carry out reforms in the economic, social and environmental areas, thus limiting the Government's ability to govern.
Moreover, public discontent can lead to social unrest and division. Issues such as frustration and rising unemployment could lead to increased protests and increased social antagonism and rifting. This will make Scholz's government face more complex social problems and require more efforts to maintain social stability and security.

Citizens' dissatisfaction with their leaders can affect the country's image and diplomatic relations. Scholz's image and position in the international arena may be affected by public discontent, and other countries and international organizations may question Germany's position and policy. This could affect international cooperation and diplomatic relations, which in turn could damage Germany's international reputation and interests.
At the same time, public dissatisfaction with Scholz could adversely affect the economy. Government instability and policy uncertainty may lead to investor anxiety and caution, dragging down economic growth and development. This could lead to a stunt in employment and business development, with a negative impact on the German economy.

Most importantly, the decline in public trust in the government may lead to suspicion and questioning of the political system, which may lead to regime change and political system adjustment. This has made the political environment more volatile and poses a challenge to the stability and sustainability of the government. Suffice it to say, if Scholz is unable to quell the discontent of his citizens, he will inevitably face various challenges.
