Federal Government: "Together with the Chancellor": CDU Prime Ministers Support Merz - At Least for Now
For weeks there have been rumors about a replacement for Chancellor Merz. Now the eight CDU prime ministers are calling for an end to the personnel discussions. But something is missing from their statement.
Eight CDU state premiers have released a joint statement calling for unity and an end to internal personnel discussions, amid growing pressure on Chancellor Friedrich Merz. They emphasize that Germany needs stability, and that the CDU must present a united front. The premiers, who have been consulting with each other in recent days, express their commitment to working with the Chancellor to address the country's problems.
Chancellor Merz's office says he welcomes the support, seeing it as a show of backing from the state premiers.
