A survey by the German Civil Service Federation (dbb) reveals that only 17% of Germans trust the state's ability to fulfill its tasks, with 79% believing it's overwhelmed. The dbb chairman describes the results as a 'catastrophe' and a 'wake-up call'. Citizens want reforms to improve public services, reduce regulations, and increase digitalization. Trust in individual institutions varies, with street cleaning and waste disposal, libraries, and museums performing best, while federal and state ministries perform worst.
