+++ Federal Politics +++: Deputy Head of the CDU/CSU Parliamentary Group Wants to Switch On Coal Power Plants

German Chancellor comments on competition with China, stating the goal is to be as independent as possible. The cabinet will discuss this issue internally and then with other EU states. In a separate matter, a representative from Sachsen-Anhalt notes that the region's economic growth is driven by immigration, as the number of German employees is declining due to retirements.

Many industries, including food production, construction, and logistics, rely heavily on foreign workers, with up to 40% of employees in certain sectors being non-German. The CDU party acknowledges struggling with low poll ratings, but notes it remains the most successful Christian democratic party in Europe.
