Perfect. Merkel was an absolute disaster for European security and probably the single biggest enabler of putin’s imperial ambitions.

Sadly, some of the more unlikable faces from Merkel’s last cabinet have politically survived under him and are reason enough not to vote for him.

Merz was basically bullied out of the party and a possible chancellor contention by Merkel in the early 2000s, so he loathes her. That’s why he says that.
He might be even worse though, he’s a populistic, rich and power-hungry guy with a terribly fragile ego. His barely existing policies are simply more conservative than hers, the main thing he does is throw dirt at others. Merkel at least had some integrity, even though her decisions mostly turned out to be disastrous for both Germany and the entire continent.
Merz is not the solution. But he will become the next chancellor, so we better prepare.

It’s still wild to me how much the opinion of Merkel has changed I the past ten years

Unfortunately, he’s the “anti Merkel” in just very selected parts. In the parts that actually matter it’s the same old CDU-shit that got Germany where it is now.

I mean he is certainly more loud-mouthed than Merkel, but for his actual policies he will introduce people should be sceptical.

Well, considering Merkel’s legacy, that’s a pretty smart move.

He is a millionaire and blackrock asset. His politics will be not only Merkel but anti german population in general. He favors the rich and gives no shit about the people, education, infrastructure or social services. His only interest is gaining money and having one huge egotrip, thats what the CDU stands for. Conservative once helped the nazis to come into political power. Merz and the CDU will too.

I don’t know the guy, but considering the legacy of Merkel nowadays I would assume that’s not a bad thing?

He is an anti-Merkel in a negative sense. Instead of Merkel’s level-headedness, calm and professional leadership style, Merz is moody, easily irritated and changes his mind daily.
Energy concepts for example. First new nuclear plants. Then the energy company bosses tell him this is a bad idea and that he can stick his nuclear plans where the sun doesn’t shine. Next day dozens of new gas plants instead. Greens tell him fine, but that’s what we have suggested all along. Wonder what his plans will be tomorrow. No windmills for sure, because they are “too ugly”.

Merz will be a far better Chancellor compared with Scholz and Merkel

What does Germany really need right now? I’ve read that a lot of infrastructure has lacked in progress, vision and “future proofing”? So at least someone who wants to change that I assume.

Germany beside 2 world wars and then incompetent socialists is still great place to live. But politics need to be changed drastically.
1. Start building energy infrastructure, with abolishing nuclear power you fcked all other countries in the energy block. Energy price went crazy and you are the biggest importer.
2. Safety – please forget the past and start looking at things clearly. It is nice to help people, but criminals should be deported without remorse. You cant help whole 3rd world otherwise you will become 3rd world.
3. Finally stand on your legs and start doing Europe a favor. Build some military and defence budget, otherwise Europe cant defend itself. US is ally, yes, but defence is not something we should rely on others.
4. Abolish some nonsense green politics or better do not do it with double meter. It is not right to have strong limits and manufacturing standards at home and import everything from asia cheaply, where the standards are much worse and nobody cares about planet. Better manufacture it at home with supervision…
5. Invest a lot in tech. Europe is far behind in cybersecurity, AI and is living just from past technological advancements…

If at least he could restore nuclear for the health of Europe the palnet and sake of global warming heck

I really, really hope he will be. I loathe her.
