The election results in Germany could be influenced by a “phone call” from the previous day

  • According to the election results in Germany: until the second day, the work of telephone canvassing teams might be continued, and the telephone canvassing teams are not allowed to be interrupted.
  • Changes to the CDU and SPD; Friedrich Merz says that the number of election results in Germany is “significantly influenced” by the “workable solutions” of the previous day.
  • Medical organizations are criticizing the proposal for the previous day, while IGES research provides an average figure of 19.5 working hours per day.

In Germany, the election results, which Friedrich Merz is calling for, are: practitioners may continue medical work until the second day. However, it is possible that the telephone canvassing teams will not be able to work, and the documents required for the reform will be submitted on time. The plan also states that Christian Democratic Party (CDU) Merz will be the partner of Social Democrats (SPD).

Friedrich Merz said that the number of election results in Germany is determined by the fact that the “significantly influenced” by the previous day, as explained in the material. The materials also note that the reform package should be reformed, that the practice of pension reforms is being discussed, and that the economic consequences of Germany’s reform are being considered.

The plan also requires that medical organizations be able to work on the previous day. For example, KBV, the national association of general practitioners, says that if the system is to be improved, doctors will be able to work more efficiently and with fewer patients. The association of General Practitioners also states that it is possible to increase the number of patients by up to three days, and that the number of patients will be reduced by 70% after three days. The association also states that after three days, the number of patients will be reduced by 70% and that, in general, it will be reduced by up to 78 patients over the next three years.

According to the materials, the reason for the increase in working hours may be that the reform package is being implemented. IGES believes that it is likely that the electronic eAU, which was introduced in 2023, and also changes in the working hours after the COVID-19 pandemic, will make it easier to determine the number of working hours. According to IGES, medical practitioners may find it easier to determine the number of working hours, which will be reflected in the information technology.

According to the data from the IGES Institute, published in full, German practitioners in general work 19.5 working hours per week; in 2018, this figure was close to 13 working hours. The materials also note that, for some reason, practitioners may not be able to determine the working hours in the future, and that this will be reflected in the reform package. The plan also states that the system of working hours in Germany will be improved.

Vice-Chancellor Lars Klingbeil said that SPD is seeking “workable solutions” for the upcoming election. Bärbel Bas said that she believes that the reform package will not be possible to implement, and that it is unclear whether the reform package will be able to work, or whether the reform package will be able to work in practice.

In addition, the materials also note that the number of working hours in Germany is affected by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) data. According to OECD, Germany has fewer working hours than other countries. According to OECD data, German practitioners work an average of 3.5 working hours per day, or 24.5 working hours per year, per working day. The materials also note that the working hours in Germany are lower than in Norway, Spain, Slovenia, Finland, France, Portugal and Belgium.
