CDU General Secretary Carsten Linnemann has assured Friedrich Merz of support ahead of the party congress in Stuttgart. Despite poor poll numbers and discontent within the party, delegates expect a strong re-election of the chancellor as party leader. The congress will also address controversial issues like a social media ban.
Former German Chancellor Angela Merkel plans to send a handwritten congratulation to her successor Friedrich Merz on his 70th birthday. She will not attend the CDU/CSU parliamentary group's celebration due to an upcoming trip abroad. Merz will thus become the first chancellor since Konrad Adenauer to turn 70.
