The German chancellor has said a US decision to temporarily allow the sale of sanctioned Russian oil is flawed. Friedrich Merz said the timing of the decision was incorrect and questioned Washington's motive.
Good to know from the elected leader of the party that is the biggest (maybe second biggest) kiss ass to Russia.
What was it, elected with 95%? Putin would be proud.
But I’m sure CDU would be happy to make Deutschland Ticket even more expensive so it’s not a real alternative to cars and we still need petrol imports
But that is normal among german political parties. Usually, these positions are negotiated and agreed upon beforehand, actually relevant counter candidates are rarely on the ballot. The actual election itself is more like a ritual.
Edit: the comment I answered contained the statement that “putin would be proud”.
I don’t care what they say, I care what they do. Last time I checked EU was buying more petrol from Russia then help provided for Ukraine and a big part of the is Germany.
Hungary: 416 million euros ($488m)
Slovakia: 275 million euros ($323m)
France: 157 million euros ($184m)
Netherlands: 65 million euros ($76m)
Belgium: 64 million euros ($75m)

His party literally has posters on the street stating that “Europe must win. Ukraine must win.”

You are very mistaken.
