CDU-Landesparteitag: Merz räumt ein: Deutschland 2040 nicht gut genug erklärt
Junge Menschen sollen wieder zuversichtlicher in die Zukunft blicken, fordert Friedrich Merz. Bei einem Parteitag räumt der Kanzler im Norden zugleich ein, was er bisher nicht ausreichend erklärt hat.
CDU-Bundesvorsitzender Friedrich Merz acknowledged the need for rapid and sustainable reforms in Germany during a Landesparteitag in Neumünster, Schleswig-Holstein. While he did not provide specific details, Merz emphasized that both short-term improvements and long-term changes are necessary. He admitted that the vision of 'Germany 2040' was not fully explained during the process, but stressed that the goal must be to instill confidence in young people for the future.
The economy is facing significant pressure, and people are struggling with high prices, according to Merz. He stressed the urgency of implementing reforms, stating that 'Germany 2040 will not create itself.' Merz also called for greater fairness and a 'generation justice' approach. He reiterated that Germany must remain an industrial powerhouse with good job opportunities, and that achieving this vision will require time and future-oriented thinking.
While Germany is still far from its goals, he warned that reforms need time to take effect, potentially bringing more stability to the coalition and the nation as a whole. Protesters from various groups, including unions, had gathered outside the venue to voice their concerns about the current plans regarding pensions, the working hours law, and social security.
