Friedrich Merz (CDU):
With the Announcement of tax cuts and radical changes to the citizens’ allowance Union Chancellor candidate Friedrich Merz tried to score with the voters in the ARD “Wahlarena”. “Those who cannot work but can work will no longer receive a citizens’ allowance in the future“Merz announced in the event of a government led by the Union after the Bundestag election on February 23.
For an economic upswing, everyone would have to roll up the sleeves and tackle them, emphasized Merz. The economic turnaround would not be possible without “unreasonable”.
A nurse who also works in her husband’s company and complained about the tax burden that is too high in her view, the CDU politician promised “more net of gross”. “We have too high tax burden in Germany,” added Merz. This also affects people with small and medium -sized incomes.
Merz said: “We have a massive problem” for a demand for the climate. He demands more “innovation”. Merz wants to deal with it “open technology”. He does not want a ban on combustion, not a heat pump. “If we have twice as high CO₂ emissions as the world average, we have to do something,” says Merz.
Merz is according to their own statements in Berlin a lot on the go by public transport. “I ride the S-Bahn and subway a lot here in Berlin, my security guards don’t like that anymore, but I drive a lot here,” said Merz in the ARD program “Wahlarena” in which citizens were able to ask questions.
In the program “Wahlarena 2025 for the Bundestag election”, voters have the opportunity to address their questions live to the candidates for chancellor Alice Weidel (AfD), Olaf Scholz (SPD) and Robert Habeck (Greens). The alliance Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) had tried unsuccessfully to legally dispute a place on the show.
