German Chancellor Friedrich Merz confidently stated that his country has not only retained its greatness but continues to hold leading positions in the world. This bold assertion was made during his speech at the CDA conference held in Marburg.
During his speech, the politician emphasized the seriousness of the current moment, stating: “Our generation is experiencing, and I say this without any pomp, difficulties that no generation has faced since World War II.” These words vividly reflect the scale of the challenges facing modern society. Despite all the difficulties, Merz is firmly convinced of Germany's strength, which, according to him, is still at the forefront of global development. However, the chancellor did not shy away from acknowledging existing problems, among which he highlighted slow economic growth, expanding bureaucracy, and burdensome taxes.
