BERLIN: "The CDU must attack here now" Retreat! Friedrich Merz and Co. are now called upon

BERLIN: "The CDU must attack here now" Retreat! Friedrich Merz and Co. are now called upon
The Union is facing major challenges, particularly with regard to the upcoming state elections in the east. The CDU's efforts to stop the AfD are centered on issues such as cohesion, unity and credibility. In an interview with "Welt am Sonntag", Carsten Linnemann emphasized the party's successful repositioning, but warned that it lacks credibility. The Union is therefore fighting against the citizen's allowance and is committed to consistent deportations.
Another point of conflict within the CDU concerns the clear demarcation from the AfD. Despite the so-called firewall, which still exists, there is discontent over the strict rejection of any cooperation with Sahra Wagenknecht's party, especially on the part of CDU members in the east. Friedrich Merz has made his position clear that he only speaks at the federal level, but the situation remains uncertain until the elections.
In addition, issues such as the debt brake and support for Ukraine are in focus. The question of chancellor also remains exciting, with Friedrich Merz, Markus Söder and Henrik Wüst as possible candidates. The political landscape could also be influenced by international developments, such as a possible re-election of Donald Trump and a weakening of Emmanuel Macron.
