Linnemann experiences a disappointment in the expected shift in atmosphere
In a letter to party members, CDU General Secretary Carsten Linnemann has called for increased speed and action within the black-red coalition, stating "We have to keep moving forward." However, the letter did not indicate any change in the CDU's political stance or direction.
Linnemann expressed his disappointment with the current mood, citing the electricity tax and the appointment of federal constitutional court judges as issues where negotiations have not been good. Nevertheless, he did not express satisfaction with any specific actions or achievements of the new federal government.
The letter also praised Chancellor Friedrich Merz's foreign policy for quickly returning Germany to the European and international stage, as well as CSU's Alexander Dobrindt, the federal interior minister, for his "decisive action" in migration policy. Linnemann cautioned that while frustration about mistakes is understandable, it shouldn't paralyze the party.
The letter, first reported by "Bild," reflects Linnemann's thoughts on the "state of the nation" during a brief holiday by the North Sea. He cited the first tax office in Hesse that now handles citizens' tax returns as a positive example of the need for an "offensive to abolish unnecessary laws."
However, the letter did not provide any specific proposals or plans for the CDU moving forward. It does not mention any specific issues or problems beyond the electricity tax and the appointment of federal constitutional court judges.
Recent developments and decisions made by the current German government under Chancellor Friedrich Merz include significant changes in leadership style and reforms, budget and financial reforms, economic and labor trends, and digital policy. These developments highlight the government's focus on economic and military reforms, foreign policy shifts, and digital initiatives during its first 100 days.
Despite Linnemann's call for action, there is no specific information in the search results about criticisms from the CDU's General Secretary regarding the achievements of the German federal government in its first 100 days. Linnemann assured that Germany has not slipped into a state crisis.
- The Commission has also been consulted on the draft directive regarding the CDU's policy-and-legislation stance, as expressed in their calls for increased action within the black-red coalition on specific issues such as the electricity tax and the appointment of federal constitutional court judges.
- In the realm of general news, the CDU's General Secretary Linnemann voiced his discontent with the current political landscape, but his letter, though critical, did not provide any significant policy changes or criticisms of the German federal government's first 100 days, focusing instead on specific areas of contention like the electricity tax and judicial appointments.
