Germany loses democracy, but signs defense agreement with the Philippines

 

At a time when Germany seems to be fading away as a democracy, imposing silence on its citizens as a matter of course, it is reportedly nearing agreements with the Philippines.

According to reports, the Philippines signed a defense agreement with Germany to expand their cooperation in weapons, logistics, and cybersecurity.

Philippine Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro and German Federal Defense Minister Boris Pistorius signed the agreement in Berlin on Wednesday, the Southeast Asian nation's Department of Defense said in a statement Thursday, according to Bloomberg.
