CDU plans massive reforms: Future recipes for Germany!

On February 13, 2025, a current survey indicates that the CDU could emerge as the strongest force. Friedrich Merz is acted as a possible candidate for chancellor, while it remains unclear whether the CDU will coalize with the SPD or the Greens. The economic framework, especially against the background of recessive development, play a central role in the parties' election programs.

With regard to the economic measures, the CDU plans to reduce corporate tax to a maximum of 25 percent. Corporate tax rates in North Rhine-Westphalia are currently between 22 and 35 percent. Another goal is to reduce bureaucracy through the introduction of so -called "clearing out laws". The focus is particularly on relief for people with low and medium -sized incomes, whereby the income tax is to be adjusted.

social measures and migration

The CDU plans, among other things, that surcharges become tax -free at overtime and the commuter flat rate is increased. A reduction in sales tax on food in the catering trade from 19 to 7 percent is also up for debate. In order to combat the shortage of skilled workers, a “work-and-stay agency” is to be launched in order to advertise skilled workers from abroad.

In the area of ​​social security, the CDU would like to abolish the citizens' benefit and introduce a new basic security that should offer stronger work incentives for social benefits. While the party is at the same time urging immigration, faster asylum procedures are planned. In addition, the CDU wants to suspend the family reunification to those entitled to subsidiary and adapt the social benefits for persons subject to departure.

economic perspectives and infrastructure

The upcoming Bundestag election will also be a clash of concepts in economic policy for the CDU. Various approaches can be found in the election programs of the other parties, such as the SPD, which promises cheaper electricity prices by capping the network charges at 3 cents. On the other hand, the CDU aims to reduce electricity tax for the citizens of NRW and to check the return to nuclear power as an option.

The CDU also has clear ideas for improving the infrastructure. This includes an acceleration of the planning and approval procedures for infrastructure projects. In addition, a slimming and realignment of the Deutsche Bahn is sought. In her political agenda, the introduction of a weekly maximum working time is also discussed instead of a daily daily, while the minimum wage is to be held.

according to Friedrich Merz should the Union parties discuss specific solutions in order to organize the economic and social future of Germany together with the population. The need for a strong economic framework and cohesion in society are in the foreground.

The challenges in front of Germany are diverse and need solutions that strengthen trust in democracy. Merz emphasizes that he wants to take the concerns and wishes of the citizens seriously and go into them - with the clear goal of using the strengths and potential of Germany.
