Germany’s Federal Returning Officer Ruth Brand raised concerns about the availability of paper for a potential early federal election, citing logistical challenges. However, the paper industry has countered these claims, assuring that sufficient paper can be supplied if ordered on time. Political tensions have escalated, with accusations against Brand for potentially stalling the election process. Meanwhile, Poland has offered assistance in providing printing supplies. Despite these developments, the German paper industry faces a significant downturn, marking its worst performance in 20 years and highlighting broader economic challenges.
