Germany’s Conservative Politics
Energy policy has become another important area in his political agenda. Merz has supported a balanced strategy that includes renewable energy expansion while also ensuring reliable energy supply for industry. This includes discussions around nuclear energy, fossil fuels, and the transition toward greener alternatives—issues that remain highly debated in German politics.
In terms of domestic policy, Merz frequently highlights the importance of the middle class and small-to-medium-sized enterprises (the “Mittelstand”), which are considered the backbone of the German economy. He advocates policies that reduce tax burdens and encourage entrepreneurship, arguing that economic vitality is essential for maintaining social stability.
