Germany's CDU/CSU has launched an election program targeting tax cuts and stricter immigration policies. Key proposals include reducing corporate taxes to 25% and allowing retirees to earn additional tax-free income. Despite these ambitious plans, implementing them will be challenged by Germany's strict debt regulations, known as the 'debt brake'. The party also emphasizes increased public surveillance, NATO responsibilities, military support for Ukraine and Israel, and a balanced approach to China while fostering global ties with the South and Asia-Pacific.
The CDU/CSU has pledged to cut taxes significantly while promising not to reduce old-age pensions, planning tax-free income beyond retirement.
Friedrich Merz’s ambitious proposals face challenges, primarily due to Germany's debt laws, which strictly limit new borrowing according to the country's GDP.
