Coalition formation: Merz advertises for confidence with a new government

CDU boss Friedrich Merz advertises before the planned start of the black and red coalition for confidence and the future government program. “Our goal is clear: Germany should become economically stronger, safer, more fairer and more modern,” said future chancellor in a video message at Easter that the CDU published on the Internet.

The coalition agreement between the Union and the SPD is the result of hard work, but also a new trust between the democratic forces of the political center, emphasized Merz. “We rely on investments in our industry, on tax relief for medium -sized companies and on a reliable energy supply. And we make our country safer – internally and externally.” First, the “picture” reported on the video.

“After dark days the light comes”

The CDU leader recalled the Easter message, which is particularly topical this year: “After dark days, the light comes.” The challenges are very large economical, socially and geopolitically. “Nevertheless, there is reason to hope. It is up to us to shape the future.” Germany wants to take responsibility in Europe and the world – not loud, but reliable and not arrogant, but in partnership.

In the three -minute speech, Merz appealed to the “dear fellow citizens” that politics alone could not create any confidence. “It depends on everyone.” Germany needs more and less distrust again. “We can all contribute to the fact that a better mood in our country – with trust, respect and the will, can be found together.”
