The CDU, under the leadership of Friedrich Merz, is launching its ‘Agenda 2030’ in preparation for a return to power, promising significant economic reforms and tax relief. As the party counts down to the crucial date on February 23, it aims to overhaul current policies, particularly targeting the proposed citizen’s allowance. The plan outlines a financial strategy with a projected cost of €89 billion, focusing on job creation and economic growth while maintaining the debt brake. The CDU and CSU are positioned to reclaim governance amid perceived weaknesses of the current coalition.
