Millions protest: social cuts threaten our lives!

Millions protest: social cuts threaten our lives!

The social coldness that affects millions of people in our country is a cause of great concern. On November 3, 2025, social pressure will be at its peak. Democratic team reports that many people have difficulty financing their rent, energy costs and food. Meanwhile, government agencies are cutting benefits and making cuts to the public sector. The contrast to the gigantic profits that some corporations make could not be greater. It is reported that billions of euros are being spent on rearmament, while it is claimed that no money is available for social issues. This is the reality that is choking the lungs of our society.

In order to draw attention to the alarming developments, various social organizations are calling for a demonstration to protest against social cuts. Under the motto “We will not allow ourselves to be played off against each other” we advocate for social security, affordable living and investments in education and climate protection. The pressure on the federal government is growing and the voices of those affected must be heard.

Alarm among social associations

The situation is also viewed critically by large social associations in Germany. daily news cites that a survey of around 8,300 establishments shows that 66% of them have already had to limit or discontinue their offerings. Almost half of the institutions surveyed reported that a lack of money forced them to reduce their offerings. The President of the BAGFW, Michael Groß, describes the austerity policy as a threat to the social infrastructure, while Caritas President Eva Maria Welskop-Deffaa highlights the enormous consequences for daycare centers, social centers and other social services.

The concerns are tangible: Over 75% of social institutions expect further restrictions and even closures by 2025. In view of these developments, those responsible warn of the loss of voluntary commitment and a threat to social peace. Diakonie President Rüdiger Schuch also says that further cuts pose a threat to democracy.

Political classification and need for action

In order to better understand the dimensions of these problems, it should be noted that the 2025 federal budget is being negotiated by the federal government under the sign of savings in social spending. Finance Minister Christian Lindner is planning to initiate an “economic turnaround”, but this will entail significant cuts in the social sector. ZhiHu argues that in times of such profound inequalities and poverty, it is essential to advocate for social justice and amplify the voices of those affected. It is time to take responsibility and advocate for policies that act in the best interests of the majority of the population.

The upcoming demonstration is a clear message to politicians: the social coldness must stop! In a country where the well-being of people and the future of society should be paramount, we must take action to secure these basic human needs. These signs of change are everywhere, and it is imperative that we raise our voices to effect change.
