Merz in Milei shock: CDU on a collision course with reform ideas!
A political sensation that astonishes the discussion group! Friedrich Merz, CDU leader and candidate for chancellor, does not shy away from clear words in this crisis moment against one of the most controversial political minds of our time: Javier Milei. The President of Argentina, known for his radical reforms, has put Argentina's national budget back in black ink and reduced inflation, but Merz is against it. He is vehemently opposed to Christian Lindner's brash statement about going “more mile” in Germany.
Merz goes one step further and surprises with his preference for the black-green coalition and Economics Minister Robert Habeck. An unusual dalliance that is greeted with a shake of the head in CDU circles because it raises critical questions: Has the CDU leader lost the will to real, liberal reforms? Merz wants to take on debt, while Milei is pulling his crisis-ridden state out of its financial misery with ironclad savings. But where is the familiar tax return on the beer mat? On a talk show, Merz visibly has difficulty breaking away from supposed green socialism.
An oath of disclosure for the CDU?
The drama is coming to a head: The sharp change of course and the benevolent view of green economic strategies raise doubts about Merz's spirit of reform. A devastating portrayal that hardly fits the line of a Christian conservative party. The comparison with Milei now reveals Merz's true political orientation. He seems to have little interest in the sense of freedom that Milei represents. A unique event that makes the FDP's call for freedom seem pale. Even Lindner's cautious demand that Germany could learn from Milei leaves the CDU leader astonished.
While Lindner calls for “a little more mileage,” Merz produces the next political bombshell: He could imagine Habeck as the future economics minister. A thought that alarms citizens and party colleagues alike. The comparison in particular falls back on the economic struggle in Argentina, where people dare to make tough cuts themselves. Chairman Merz's outgoing course signals that he is missing a complete turnaround towards real reforms, the poison for the systemic problems in Germany. For many, the CDU captain remains a repeater of the anti-freedom movement. The question of true reform power becomes the central issue and causes unrest within the party.
