In the event of election victory
Merz wants to complete government formation until Easter
In the surveys, the CDU clearly leads Chancellor candidate Friedrich Merz. Should his party emerge from the election at the end of February, Merz wants to act quickly.
Union Chancellor candidate Friedrich Merz, wants to form a government in the event of his victory in the federal election within two months. “I hope that government formation has been completed at Easter,” he told the newspapers of the Funke media group on Saturday. That is “ambitious”. However, a new federal government must “make a few decisions by the summer break at the latest, which have the actual and psychological effect, especially for companies, that the framework conditions in Germany will be better”.
It is important to stop the “bloodletting to investment capital and jobs”, emphasized the CDU boss. With a view to the 15-point CDU “immediate program”, Merz named three projects that are particularly important to him: limitation of illegal migration, the introduction of the active pension and lower electricity prices by reducing the current tax and the network charges.
Friedrich Merz and the CDU lead significantly in the election surveys
The CDU decided on the “immediate program” at its party congress on Monday. It should be implemented immediately when taking over the government.
In the last surveys on the Bundestag election on February 23, the Union leads to a large extent. Stand now it would be enough for a government of the Union and the SPD as well as for one from the Union and the Greens. An alliance with the AfD is out of the question, it is excluded by all other parties.
