Kanzler-Krise: CDU-Ministerpräsidenten: „Gemeinsam mit dem Bundeskanzler“
Kanzler Merz steckt in der Krise. Jetzt melden sich die CDU-Ministerpräsidenten in der Personaldebatte zu Wort.
The eight CDU state premiers have responded to speculation about the political future of Chancellor Friedrich Merz by rejecting personnel discussions. In a joint statement, they affirmed that people can trust their leadership to address their concerns. As state premiers, they pledged to work together with Chancellor Merz to contribute to rebuilding trust in the Christian Democratic Party.
They emphasized that restoring confidence in German democracy requires listening and political action, rather than personal disputes. The statement highlighted three core convictions of the government leaders: Germany needs a stable and capable federal government with its own majority in the Bundestag for the foreseeable future.
The CDU has, since its founding, been a pioneer of the "German coalition democracy success model." With upcoming elections in other European countries next year, the focus will be even greater on "a stable and strong Germany within an united Europe." The CDU stands ready to collaborate with all democratic forces. Germany requires reliability and decisive action.
The CDU's ministers reiterated that trust will be rebuilt when politics solves the problems and questions that people face in their daily lives. This conviction is the firm belief of the CDU's state premiers and "a shared responsibility of all Christian Democrats for our country."
