German Chancellor Friedrich Merz is reaching out to conservative voters, particularly those who support the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, ahead of a regional election in September. Merz urged voters to look beyond social media for information and to judge his government on its merits.
Conservative Values
Merz emphasized his government’s commitment to preserving the country’s freedom and peace, as well as improving the economic situation. He also discussed the need for European Union dialogue with China to address China’s artificially undervalued currency.
Merz’s conservatives are currently trailing the AfD in national polls, and the AfD may win a majority in the eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt. Merz reiterated that his party would not form coalitions or cooperate with the AfD.
