SPD Chancellor Olaf Scholz and CDU boss Friedrich Merz had a hard TV duel-especially about dealing with the right alternative to Germany or with migration on Sunday evening. Scholz once again accused Merz “Word Fracture” and a “taboo break” because the trade union has enforced its five-point plan for migration with AFD votes.
He trusts that the CDU chairman enters a coalition with the AfD after the elections. “This is my serious care.” Merz rejected this: “There will not be this collaboration,” he said. “We will not do this (Union and AfD) separates worlds in the actual issues.” The joint coordination of the Union, FDP and AFD had led to a scandal in the Bundestag January. Merz brought a bill two days later due to deviations in his own faction and in the FDP not through the Bundestag.
Scholz promises to continue his “hard course”
When it comes to migration, Scholz promised before the elections to continue a “hard course”. Germany should not accept violent actions such as the Aschaffenburg. “We can never tolerate such actions and that is why we must be treated clearly and decisively.”
The plans of the Union to reject migrants on the border rejected Scholz as illegal and warned of a “European crisis”. He also insisted at MERZ to agree with the government presented by the government to implement the European asylum reform. “Why would you be so stupid”, not to do this, he asked.
Merz: “What you tell here is a fairy -tale lock”
Merz accused Scholz “to let more than two million irregular migrants go to Germany and not tell the truth:” What they tell here is a fairy -tale castle. ”
Scholz and Merz also came together in economic policy. Merz accused Scholz of a disturbed perception in the crisis situation of the German economy. “I am somewhat shocked which perception you describe the condition of our economy here tonight,” said the candidate of the Chancellor. He added directly to the Chancellor: “This has nothing to do with reality – to be honest, Mr. Scholz.” Scholz had previously stated that there was no industrialization in Germany. The social -democrat admitted: “Something is wrong and we have to do something.”
Scholz seemed considerably more aggressively in the game than Merz, his statements called “ridiculous” several times and accused him of performing “speech bubbles”. Merz calm the attacks of the Chancellor. He spoke with Scholz several times several times and asked him questions.
The 90-minute duel with the TV channels of the Public ARD and ZDF on the best broadcast was moderated by the talk show professional Maybrit Illner and Sandra Maischberger. The television match marks the start of the hot final phase of the election campaign, in which Merz and the CDU/CSU go in the surveys with a big lead. The Union currently comes to 29 to 34 percent, Scholz and the SPD, on the other hand, are far from 15 to 18 percent only in third place behind the AfD. The scandal in the Bundestag has had little effect on the survey values. The trend removal that was hoped for by the SPD could not be extradited.
