Sparbuchfeinde wrote that the Union sees the breaking of the coalition, a minority government, and extensive reforms with the votes of the AfD as a last resort. According to his account, the SPD is preparing for the end of the coalition and a tough election campaign from the left. He mentioned Manuela Schwesig and Boris Pistorius as possible new top candidates; the SPD, Greens, and Left would oppose the AfD. The Union still holds 28 percent of the seats, but is currently at 17.5 percent in polls, wrote Sparbuchfeinde. In new elections, it would be worn down between the political camps and could, similar to Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, experience a complete collapse, he suggested. #Politik #Neuwahlen #Koalition (translated)

The author warned that a minority government in Germany would, in his opinion, provoke the chaos that internal and external enemies of the state were longing for. At the same time, he questioned why the AfD should support a CDU that he viewed as being in decline in such a government. #Deutschland #Politik #Minderheitsregierung #DE (translated)

Armin Petschner-Multari wrote that the step towards a minority government is risky. However, in light of the missing necessary reforms, the coalition climate he described as toxic, and disastrous poll numbers, he considered the risk acceptable. He described the status quo as unacceptable. #Minderheitsregierung #Reformen #Politik (translated)

BrennpunktUA wrote that Stegner was dissatisfied that the Chancellor had apparently threatened internally within the Union to throw the SPD out of the federal government and was considering a minority government. At the same time, he urged Friedrich Merz to send the SPD into opposition. #Politik #Deutschland #SPD (translated)

NIUS reported that Chancellor Friedrich Merz openly threatened CDU members in a private meeting to throw the SPD ministers out of the coalition and form a minority government. He then wanted to fill the government with his own people. #Bundesregierung #CDU #Politik #DE (translated)

The author of "savings book enemies" wrote that Friedrich Merz is 70 years old and has indicated in earlier statements that Germany needs a tough course change in migration, taxes, and energy. After almost two years in office, Merz must realize, in his opinion, that his party stands at 17.5 percent – a historic low – and he could go down in history as the most unpopular Chancellor of all time. Furthermore, the author blamed Merz for the end of his party as a people's party and stated that reasonable politics is not possible with the SPD. He asked what Merz has to lose and suggested throwing the SPD out of the government and tackling domestic issues in a minority government. According to the author, there are middle-class majorities for nuclear power, taxes, and migration. #Politik #Deutschland #FriedrichMerz (translated)

Baha wrote that, in his assessment, the SPD and the Greens would cooperate with the Left without hesitation if it meant gaining a majority. If necessary, they would form a minority government and exert pressure through a joint opposition with the AfD. He added that this representation was simplified. https://t.co/Y3Fu1nqSWt #Politik #Bundestag #Deutschland (translated)

Thorsten Alsleben wrote that the ongoing implementation of leftist policy is already dividing the CDU. Even particularly convinced party members like Baha Jam are, in his estimation, on the verge of leaving; many supporters of "CDU-pur" feel the same way. A minority government that occasionally passes bills with votes from the AfD could trigger several tens of thousands of departures. However, a continuation of the SPD's policy of appeasement would lead to many more thousands leaving the party in addition to those who have already left, Alsleben stated. #CDU #Politik #Minderheitsregierung (translated)

Baha wrote that he increasingly feels like he wants to stop posting on X. Until the election last year, he was proud of the Union and Friedrich Merz; he believed he had overcome the shame from 2021. The Union had known what to do but had not negotiated with the necessary toughness. In this respect, Olaf Scholz was right: the party had been afraid of its own courage. He did not expect the coalition with the SPD and the quick break with previous positions. Initially, he still sought justifications out of loyalty. Meanwhile, he sees chaos, irrationality, and fear in Berlin. Warnings about the SPD as a danger to the Union and about red-red-green ambitions had previously been dismissed; now, RRG is forming, he wrote. A minority government would require a sophisticated strategy, the implementation of which he cannot recognize in the party. In his view, the common sense with which the Union has come back has been lost not because of the voters, but due to a lack of political leadership. He feels hardly bound to the party anymore and can imagine that another decision he considers wrong at the federal level would trigger his exit. Regarding Thuringia, he expressed his disbelief by shaking his head. He also recognizes no learning curve in politics and journalism. #Politik #Union #Wahlen (translated)

Josef Franz Lindner described a minority government as the last chance for Friedrich Merz and the CDU. He wrote that Merz could not implement the necessary structural reforms in his view with the SPD and was dependent on the smaller coalition partner. Therefore, he should dismiss the SPD ministers from the government and form a CDU single-party government. Lindner suggested that reasonable members from other parties could support their initiatives. If decisions were only made with the votes of the AfD, he believed that the Greens and SPD would bear the responsibility if they voted against it for tactical or ideological reasons. Merz would neither have to pursue AfD policies nor agree to AfD proposals; agreements with the party were not necessary. Therefore, he also did not see a trap constructed by Robin Alexander and no obstacle from the "firewall." According to Lindner, a minority government would make political responsibility visible and was also important with regard to the elections in 2029. If Merz achieved too little with it, he could pose the question of confidence and thus trigger new elections. In his estimation, Merz and the CDU would regain support as a result. #CDU #Minderheitsregierung #Politik (translated)
