Forbundskansler Merz møder modstand på DGB-kongres

Forbundskansler Friedrich Merz mødte afbrydelser og skepsis fra fagforeningsdelegerede på DGB-kongressen i Berlin. Mens han talte foran omkring 400 deltagere, forsvarede han sin reformdagsorden, alt imens DGB-formand Yasmin Fahimi advarede mod at rulle arbejdstagerrettigheder tilbage.

Merz talte tirsdag på Hotel Estrel i Berlin. Han lagde ud med en charmeoffensiv, hvor han roste fagforeningerne for at beskytte mod højreekstremistisk indflydelse og delte sine positive erfaringer fra medbestemmende virksomheder.

Fahimi havde på forhånd advaret ham mod at ændre loven om arbejdstid. "Vi ønsker ikke at gå tilbage til tiden omkring 1918," sagde hun. Fagforeningerne har truet med protester mod eventuelle nedskæringer i ydelserne.

Optrædenen fandt sted få timer før et koalitionstopmøde i kanslerembedet. Merz virkede anspændt og måtte tage flere dybe indåndinger, før han faldt til ro i sin tale. Reaktionerne forblev afdæmpede.
