The Union's chancellor candidate, Friedrich Merz, has issued a warning regarding the potential success of far-right parties in Germany's upcoming elections in 2029 and 2033. He emphasizes the necessity for a significant shift in both economic and immigration policies to prevent this trend. Merz stated that should the Union win, it would aim for a transformative political course that would require support from potential coalition partners.
Merz expressed that failing to achieve this political shift could result in a scenario where discussions about government changes would no longer be relevant. He drew parallels to the current political climate in Austria, where a far-right politician from the FPÖ is poised to become chancellor, describing it as a 'fatal situation.'
He firmly stated that under his leadership, there would be no collaboration with the Alternative for Germany (AfD), asserting that attempting to legitimize right-wing populists has historically proven to be a significant miscalculation in German politics. He remarked on the importance of the upcoming Bundestag election in 2033, articulating that once is enough for Germany to experience such a shift.
During a recent campaign event in Brilon, Bavaria's Minister-President Markus Söder publicly endorsed Merz as the Union's chancellor candidate. Söder expressed his deep conviction that Merz should lead the country, emphasizing the urgency for a foundational change in Germany's political direction.
Söder noted that without a strategic pivot in policies, Germany risks a gradual decline in prosperity, which could ultimately threaten democratic stability. He highlighted the dangers posed by the erosion of the democratic center in various European nations, warning that the Union and other mainstream parties could become mere facilitators for radical elements.
As the Union gears up for the elections, both Merz and Söder are rallying support for a comprehensive policy overhaul to address the challenges facing Germany. Their campaign is centered on the belief that a decisive change is essential for safeguarding the country's democratic values and economic stability.
