CDU: Merz between Adenauer and the present – “Where we stand, where we want to go and what the plan is”
On Tuesday evening, the Chancellor is seeking support from Konrad Adenauer and is struggling for trust – his party for direction and young people for a perspective. Merz must explain where he wants to lead Germany.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz recently spoke to around 150 young people in Berlin about former Chancellor Konrad Adenauer, highlighting his courage in implementing fundamental reforms and his commitment to steady and confident leadership. Merz reflected on the challenges of his own government, emphasizing the need for orientation in difficult times and promising to create prosperity for young people.
He discussed various issues, including the country's high debt, the need for a generationally fair pension reform, and the housing shortage, acknowledging that his government has not yet found a conclusive answer to these problems. Merz emphasized the importance of showing perspectives and opportunities, and providing a plan for the future.
