(NOTE: THIS ENTRY IS WITHOUT SPEAKER TEXT.) O-TON CANDIDATE FOR THE CDU CHAIRMAN FRIEDRICH MERZ ON MONDAY IN A CDU LIVESTREAM FROM BERLIN: “So the first key point is: Christian democrats, we are a people’s party and we have an image of man : We stand for a social market economy. Thirdly, we stand for intergenerational equity and are those who really make serious efforts to give the young generation in this country a perspective and social security too. ” // “What we saw this year in terms of disputes, of openly fought power struggles in the Union. That must not be repeated. And that was one of the reasons for our electoral defeat, by the way. I want us to design mechanisms that we are developing strategies to prevent something like that for the future. There is a proposal to make a joint body between the CDU and CSU, the two party presidiums, the two chairmen anyway. But I will do everything to ensure that this is preserved and that this one The CDU and CSU will remain together. If one marches into the other or vice versa, then nothing has been gained for us and there is a lot to lose. “
