In the lead-up to critical snap elections, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and opposition leader Friedrich Merz made their final appeals to voters. Merz, representing the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), emphasized the need for Germany to regain its economic strength and assert its influence in the European Union. He criticized the current government's handling of economic issues and the influence of the US under President Trump, advocating for a more proactive role for Europe against challenges posed by Russia and China. This election follows the collapse of Scholz's coalition government, heightening stakes for both parties.
With me, Germany will have a strong voice in the European Union again. Europe must be a player and not ask maybe to get a seat at a side table.
We will only gain respect in this European Union again if we finally overcome our country's economic weakness. This weakness is overwhelmingly homemade.
