Counterevidence:
“"The downturn was initially triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic and was subsequently exacerbated by the loss of Russian gas supplies."” · not found in supplied text

“"We are currently losing large numbers of industrial jobs"” · not found in supplied text
“"more than 30 German companies with annual revenues of at least €50 million filed for insolvency in the first half of this year"” · not found in supplied text
Why: Both the leading Merz quote and the insolvency statistic emphasize decline, and the article asserts Germany is in a prolonged economic crisis.
Claim: The overall outlook is negative, framing Germany's industrial situation as an unresolved crisis.

“"According to the DPA news agency, he stressed that the trend must be reversed and that \"Germany must remain an industrial country.\""” · not found in supplied text
