  • Friedrich Merz, the favourite to become Germany's next chancellor, has denied his conservative bloc's manifesto contains unfunded pledges amid criticism from left-wing rivals. Merz told public broadcaster ARD on Sunday that economic growth and reforms to unemployment benefit would provide extra revenue for the next German government.

Friedrich Merz, the leader of Germany's Christian Democratic Union (CDU), has defended the party's manifesto against accusations of making unfunded financial pledges. In a recent interview, Merz emphasized that the CDU's proposals are financially sound, pointing out that the party has a history of fiscal responsibility. He highlighted plans to reduce bureaucracy, reform taxes, and promote economic growth as means to fund their commitments without increasing the national debt. Merz also criticized the current government's spending habits, suggesting that the CDU's approach would lead to a more sustainable economic policy. This comes as the CDU aims to regain voter trust ahead of upcoming elections by showcasing a credible economic strategy.
