The leader of the CDU, Friedrich Merz, stated that Germany should strive for greater independence from the United States.
In his speech, he emphasized the need to distance itself from American influence, especially in the context of foreign policy and the economy. Merz, who leads the party that won the Bundestag elections, noted that Germany should strengthen its autonomy and make decisions based on its own interests.
Additionally, the politician criticized U.S. interference in Germany’s internal affairs, including elections. He mentioned Washington's role and even referred to Elon Musk, who, in his opinion, also exerted some influence on political processes in the country. Merz stressed that such actions by foreign players are unacceptable and undermine Germany’s sovereignty.
These statements sparked widespread debate in political circles, as they raise important questions about the future of Germany-U.S. relations. Merz called for a more balanced approach to international relations so that Germany can maintain its independence while continuing to foster partnerships with other countries. His stance reflects the growing sentiment in Europe, where many countries seek greater autonomy amid a changing geopolitical landscape.
