CDU: Frei: Coalition faces a busy autumn
After the summer break, Chancellor and CDU leader Merz is meeting with the top leadership of his party for the first time. Personally, only a few members of the presidium are present in Berlin.
CDU parliamentary group leader Thorsten Frei has warned of a busy autumn for the black-red coalition government. He stated that many legislative projects were initiated before the summer break and need to be implemented by the end of the year. At a meeting of the CDU presidency, party leader Friedrich Merz emphasized that the government's competitiveness should be a key focus at an upcoming cabinet retreat.
The meeting came amid criticism from the Greens and Left parties that Merz was inactive during the recent heatwaves and wildfires.
