The Union is strategically positioning itself for a potential government takeover following the 2025 federal election. With Friedrich Merz confirmed as the chancellor candidate, the party is shifting focus from attacking the current coalition to crafting concrete policies aimed at recapturing power.
Merz emphasizes reducing citizen's allowance, tightening migration control, and scaling back climate initiatives. However, critics, including economist Fratzscher, argue that the Union lacks a comprehensive economic program, relying instead on simplistic tax reduction promises.
As the coalition navigates a crucial period, Federal Finance Minister Christian Lindner heralds an anticipated 'Autumn of Decisions,' highlighting key priorities such as growth initiatives, budgetary discipline, and a more assertive migration policy. This echoes past political tensions within coalitions, reminiscent of the FDP's tumultuous history.
The political landscape remains uncertain, with questions surrounding Chancellor Scholz's future and the economic implications of Merz's proposed policies looming large.
