Really good friendships are rare in politics. In any case, much rarer than intimate enmity, if you think of Helmut Kohl and Franz Josef Strauss. Or to Gerhard Schröder and Oskar Lafontaine. But there must be a kind of emotional connection that goes beyond content-related similarities between Christian Lindner and Friedrich Merz, otherwise the head of the FDP would certainly not have invited the head of the CDU to his wedding on Sylt.
