Agenda 2010 is the response to two major challenges which our society, like many other societies in Europe, faces: on the one hand, the challenge linked to the globalization of our economy and thus the globalization of all aspects of economic life and, on the other hand, a radically changed age structure in our society.
Agenda 2010 is certainly a demanding reform programme which, as its very name indicates, stretches far beyond the current legislative period.
The Agenda 2010 programme was put in place to provide a long-term structural foundation; however, ladies and gentlemen, we must also do something in the short term.

 Germany: “Which side are you on?”
Certainly, this radical rhetoric by trade union leaders against the cuts policy implemented by the SPD led government is a reflection of the growing outrage within the working class in Germany and an attempt to satisfy the membership of the unions.
It does not even cross their mind to fully reject Schröder’s Agenda but to “trim the sharpest edges of Agenda 2010” as Michael Sommer put it.
They should be reminded that in terms of the volume of cuts financially, the SPD’s Agenda 2010 stands out as the most brutal compared with all previous attempts by previous governments to attack the working class.

 Germany: Schröder declares war on welfare state
Originally introduced to the public in a speech to the Bundestag on March 14, all the implications of Schröder’s Agenda 2010 were not fully grasped by most activists for weeks as the movement against the war in Iraq was concentrating the full attention of many trade unionists.
Instead of concentrating all the resources of the party on campaigning against Agenda 2010 and closing ranks with the unions and putting forward a real socialist alternative, the more moderate section of the PDS are now trying to oust some left wing elements who hold positions such as the party general secretary and deputy chair.
If the union leaders only had a fraction of the class consciousness and determination that the leaders on the other side of the barricades have in defending their class interest, there would be a strong mass movement now to stop Agenda 2010, to reclaim the SPD and to get the unions back onto the offensive.

 Chancellor Schröder justifies no-confidence vote: New German elections aimed at breaking resistance to Agenda 2010
The content of Agenda 2010 is, in fact, the dismantling of the framework of the German welfare state.
At the beginning of his speech, Schröder dealt with the “chain” of “painful defeats at the polls” for the SPD, the last link of which was the “bitter result of the state parliamentary election in North Rhine-Westphalia.”; He frankly conceded that these defeats were the result of a widespread opposition to his policies.
Given that Schröder’s Agenda 2010 has always enjoyed the full support of business organizations, it was clear that the “interests groups” referred to were workers, unemployed persons and pensioners.
