🇩🇪 Horst Seehofer accused Merz of breaking election promises and “a loss of credibility”

Former CSU chairman and former German Interior Minister Horst Seehofer sharply criticized the chancellor. In an interview with “Bild am Sonntag,” he said that abandoning election promises had seriously damaged confidence in the CDU leadership. As an example, Seehofer cited the unfulfilled promise to reduce the electricity tax burden for citizens and businesses.

The politician was particularly angered by Merz’s statements about Germans’ work ethic. Seehofer called it unfair to demand more work while companies are cutting staff and offering employees voluntary severance packages. The former CSU leader called on the CDU leadership to change its political course, end internal disputes, and focus on the problems facing the population.

Criticism of Merz is now coming not only from the opposition but also from influential representatives of his own political camp. Following the disappointing state elections, the question of confidence in the chancellor is becoming one of the biggest problems facing the CDU/CSU as a whole.
