No Berlin ambitions: Günther prefers Schleswig-Holstein to Berlin and appreciates Merz
On the ARD show "Inas Nacht", Daniel Günther not only sings, but also answers questions about his goals and about Friedrich Merz.
Daniel Günther, the Minister-President of Schleswig-Holstein, has stated that he currently has no ambitions to switch to federal politics and would like to remain in his position in Kiel for another five years. He expressed his preference for working in Schleswig-Holstein, citing the collaborative atmosphere in his coalition government.
Günther, who has been in office since 2017, also mentioned that he has been invited to dinner by Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz, but jokingly described Merz as "normal, yes, also nice to deal with", prompting laughter from the audience. The next state elections in Schleswig-Holstein are scheduled for April 2027.
