Quick takeaways

The World Economic Forum serves as a coordinating institution for corporate, political, and academic elites, playing a role in their coordination and promoting their ideas.

People in Germany initially supported COVID-19 measures, but skepticism grew over time, especially regarding the efficacy and safety of vaccines, resulting in a decline in overall support for restrictions.

Skepticism and opposition towards the Ukraine project have grown among Germans, leading to public disillusionment and a desire for a reduction in support, despite efforts to downplay or shift blame by the official media narrative.
