welcome to the program in a surprising turn of events the party leaders of germany's coalition government have agreed to revisit this week's decision to move the head of the country's domestic intelligence agency. mohsen was told you have to go following controversial comments he made about fog right violence in the eastern german town of candidates but his promotion to a more senior position within the interior ministry sparked an outcry from the conservatives coalition partners social democrats now german chancellor angela merkel says it is time for a rethink. and you buying a comb we have agreed to reassess the situation i think it's right and necessary. so that you know it's right and it's necessary because we need to be fully focused on our tasks in government to turn the many challenges we face at home and abroad.

figures explain why the three party leaders have agreed so quickly to new talks in part that's correct obviously because they realize that they do not necessarily reflect. what the public what the german of voters are thinking you can just imagine the criticism that came from german voters after mr marson was promoted and there was an outcry also on social media regarding this decision but i would see and i would interpret these numbers in a more much broader perspective because it's not only about mr marson that we see these numbers it's about a general sense of disconnect between german voters and traditional parties like the conservative bloc all the social democrats and that reflects precisely fill why we are seeing these numbers and why other parties like the alternative for germany have precisely being gaining ground so yes obviously it does have to do with mr marson situation but not only with mr marson situation i would see it as part of
