Merz's Bureaucracy Reforms Fall Flat for Germans

Chancellor Merz's government came to power promising to slash bureaucracy and streamline processes for both citizens and businesses. However, a new survey shows that most Germans have yet to see any meaningful changes on the ground.

The study, conducted by a leading think tank, polled a representative sample of German residents and businesses. Over 70% of respondents reported little to no improvement in their dealings with government agencies and paperwork requirements since Merz took office.
