Interview: „Friedrich Merz lernt gerade auf die schmerzhafte Tour drei Dinge“
Der Ökonom Nils Goldschmidt findet: Es braucht weniger klare Kante und mehr Kompromisse im Land. Ein Gespräch über Friedrich Merz’ Glaubwürdigkeitsproblem und den Nutzen von Hinterzimmern.
Friedrich Merz is reportedly learning three painful lessons: first, that compromises must be made to gain credibility; second, that warning of dangers rather than stating that something will work is unhelpful; and third, that possessing the truth can make one appear foolish. Merz observed that he has mobilized a CDU faction to implement policies he claims are correct, but this approach has alienated many within the party.
Additionally, Merz has frequently predicted potential dangers without providing assurance that these risks will be overcome. Lastly, Merz believes that claiming possession of the truth can make one seem foolish, as those who disagree with him will likely become disenchanted.
