Demonstrators took to the streets across Germany on Saturday to protest against the controversial new transatlantic trade agreement that would create the world’s biggest free market of 850 million consumers.
A recent survey in Germany found that about 28% of respondents doubted free trade would really bring benefits. Fifty-two percent thought it would lead to weaker standards and lower quality products.
Peter Gauweiler, who left Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union and resigned as an MP in protest against her handling of the eurozone crisis, has called TTIP and Ceta “a danger for democracy”. Writing in the Süddeutsche Zeitung, he denounced the proposed special court as a “form of secular sharia of capitalist managers”.
