Bundesregierung: CDU-Funktionäre rebellieren: „Ein CDU-Kanzler muss Orientierung geben und die Probleme lösen“
Die Unzufriedenheit mit dem Kanzler wird größer. Erste Abgeordnete stellen sich öffentlich gegen ihn. Sie fordern „einen neuen Aufbruch und mehr Substanz“. Wie geht es weiter mit Merz?
Berlin - A group of CDU politicians are openly rebelling against Chancellor Friedrich Merz, demanding a new beginning and more substance in their governance. Former Saxon State Parliament member Florian Oest, who is part of the circle of constituency chairmen, has called for an immediate convening of a constituency chairmen's conference.
This demand comes in the wake of the CDU's electoral defeat in Saxony-Anhalt and their weak poll ratings in the Bund. Oest sent a letter to Merz and CDU Secretary-General Franziska Hoppermann on Friday, stating that the current situation cannot afford delay. "We must convene a constituency chairmen's conference swiftly and clarify matters," he explained.
Oest, who represents Görlitz district in the CDU, believes that small steps are failing to satisfy the people. He lists affordable energy, less regulation, lower labor costs and investments in infrastructure and technological advancement as the prerequisites for renewed economic strength and a secure, socially strong state. He proposed an agenda for 2030, stating, "Social is what strengthens economy."
Oest emphasized that it is up to Merz to decide if he has the will to initiate this new direction. However, he made it clear that "A CDU chancellor must give the country direction and solve the problems." The people of Eastern Germany aspire to celebrate 40 years of German unity in 2030 with joy, pride and unity.
