Merkel: “It doesn’t matter who rules this country”
Then Merkel brings pure Wahkkampf into the debate.
In her presumably last speech in the Bundestag, she says that the upcoming Bundestag election will be a difficult one. “It doesn’t matter who rules this country.” Citizens have the choice of whether the country should be run with moderation and moderation, she says and receives applause from the CDU and FDP. There is great unrest among the other parties, heckling like: “Be ashamed!” Merkel interrupts her speech annoyed: “My goodness! I don’t know where, if not here, such questions should be asked. This is the heart of democracy!”
The SPD does not want to rule out an alliance with the Left Party, she says. Merkel insists on a Union-led federal government because it is not just about the future of NATO and Europe, but also about “tangible economic and tax policy decisions”.
The Chancellor’s tone of voice is unusual because Merkel has always emphasized the similarities with her coalition partner SPD when appearing in the Bundestag in recent years.
“It doesn’t matter who rules this country,” she says. “The best way for our country is a CDU / CSU-led federal government with Armin Laschet as Federal Chancellor,” she says. “Because his government will stand for stability, reliability, moderation and middle ground. That is exactly what Germany needs.”
