The majority of young people in Germany see no point in becoming involved with politics, according to a survey. Most see too many hurdles and believe politicians don't take their worries seriously, the report said.

Summary

A survey by the Bertelsmann Foundation found that most young Germans (ages 16-30) feel disillusioned with politics, citing distrust, lack of influence, and insufficient avenues for engagement beyond voting.

Only 8% believe politicians take their concerns seriously, and fewer than 1 in 5 feel they can enact change.

Despite this, 61% still see democracy as the best system.

The findings come as Germany faces potential elections after its coalition collapse, with experts urging politicians to better involve youth on key issues like peace, education, and inflation.

    And how to judge them ? I can really understand why…

    Politic just lost its proper definition as a word,
    Meaning root :

    Politic is an adjective that means wise or showing good judgment, especially in making decisions. It can also refer to actions that are prudent or sensible in a given situation.

    and in “latin” its even more specific, its “the life of the city”.
    Rich people and governants are not a part of society, we are their slaves.
