CDU's Bold Agenda Post-Ampel Collapse

Published: 2024-11-15

Following the collapse of the Ampel coalition, the CDU is preparing to implement a bold agenda under the leadership of General Secretary Carsten Linnemann.

Key measures include abolishing the current citizen's income and introducing a new basic security system that emphasizes both support and obligation.

Linnemann also proposes tax-free earnings for retirees who choose to work beyond retirement age.

Additionally, the CDU plans to cut benefits for Ukrainian refugees and aims to save up to 50 billion euros through budget cuts and stricter migration policies.

Linnemann suggests reviving the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) with potential support from Friedrich Merz and Donald Trump.

He criticizes Chancellor Olaf Scholz's emergency budget plans, asserting that the current leadership is detrimental to Germany's future.
