The CDU faces significant internal unrest as party members express deep disappointment with Friedrich Merz's leadership. Many believe that without a stronger CDU presence in upcoming coalition negotiations, the party risks a substantial exodus of its supporters.

The sentiment is clear: a more pronounced CDU identity is essential to maintain relevance and avoid losing ground to competing parties, such as the AfD. Merz's credibility is faltering, with growing skepticism among the electorate.

Meanwhile, calls for strategic changes, including a reduction in bureaucracy and an embrace of new technologies, underscore the urgent need for the party to adapt. As discussions continue, the pressure mounts for Merz to steer the CDU towards a more robust and appealing future, or face the consequences of discontent within the ranks.
