Merz sender autografkort til kræftpatient efter borgerdialog

Efter en diskussion i slutningen af april sendte forbundskansler Friedrich Merz et personligt dedikeret autografkort til en hudkræftpatient fra Niedersachsen. En talskvinde for regeringen bekræftede afsendelsen af brevet efter kvindens ønske.

Silvia Dronsch fra Suhlendorf nær Uelzen havde stillet Merz et spørgsmål om den planlagte sundhedsreform under en borgerdialog i Salzwedel i Sachsen-Anhalt. Hun fortalte om sin sygdom i stadie fire og kritiserede planlagte besparelser på forebyggende behandling. Merz afviste skarpt anklager om mulige lønstigninger til politikere og forklarede den planlagte fordeling af besparelserne: «En tredjedel til de forsikrede, en tredjedel til tjenesteudbyderne og en tredjedel til alle andre.» Dronsch havde ønsket en undskyldning. I stedet modtog hun et brev med autografkortet, hvorpå Merz ønskede hende «alt det bedste». Et medfølgende brev indeholdt ønsker om fortrøstning og styrke.
