2020 has been a year largely defined by the coronavirus pandemic. But a new study suggests that Germans are still more worried about their wallets than their health.
Eighty-three percent of Germans see immigration as Germany's "biggest challenge" - that's twice as many as a year ago, and more than in any of the other countries surveyed.
A vast majority of Germans believe terrorism will soon strike Germany, with 77 percent fearing an attack will take place in the near future, according to a new survey.
An annual survey showed on Wednesday that the German public are increasingly afraid of the future, prompting some to warn of a return to "German Angst" – the country's pre-2000s tendency to jump at shadows.
Having to cough up for the excesses of spendthrift southern Europeans is the fear most likely to haunt German nightmares in 2015. But getting caught up in a natural disaster isn't far behind, an annual survey shows.
It's no longer fear of terrorism or war that keeps Germans up at night - it's the heft of their wallets. A new study found that fears of the euro crisis and the incompetence of politicians to deal with it have grown bigger than anything else.
