CDU: Frei: Koalition steht vor arbeitsreichem Herbst
Nach der Sommerpause kommt Kanzler und CDU-Chef Merz erstmals wieder mit der engsten Führungsspitze seiner Partei zusammen. Persönlich sind nur wenige Präsidiumsmitglieder in Berlin anwesend.
CDU Politician Thorsten Frei has stated that the coalition government is facing a busy autumn. During a session of the CDU Presidium with Chancellor and party leader Friedrich Merz in Berlin, Frei noted that many legislative initiatives had already been prepared before the parliamentary summer break and will now need to be implemented, with the goal of finishing the year.
This "busy autumn" was discussed among the innermost CDU leadership - among the 24 members of the CDU Presidium, only a few were physically present, along with Merz and Frei, Secretary General Franziska Hoppermann, Deputy Party Chairwomen Silvia Breher, Ines Claus, Andreas Jung and Karin Prien, and Chancellor's Chief Nina Warken and Ina Scharrenbach from North Rhine-Westphalia.
Merz also announced that the competition will be the focus during the Cabinet's briefing on Tuesday and Wednesday. The length of Merz's vacation did not matter. Frei from Saxony-Anhalt suggested that people should fight, every day, when asked how the mood in Saxony-Anhalt could be improved, especially as the state will vote in two weeks and the AfD is leading in the polls. Frei suggested convincing through good work, and intensifying it in the last days.
