General debate reside: Chancellor Scholz and Merz exchanging blows | EUROtoday

Now Dürr is speaking about an “invasion of Martians.” What occurred? On Tuesday, Finance Minister Christian Lindner (FDP) described CDU man Mathias Middelberg as a “Martian”. “You sound like the Martian who landed his UFO 14 days ago,” mentioned Lindner, including that the Union had been chargeable for “bureaucracy, the labor market and the state of the infrastructure” for 16 years. Dürr takes up this: After opposition chief Merz's speech right this moment, it’s clear, in response to Dürr: “We are not dealing with a single Martian. We are dealing with an invasion of Martians who now cannot remember anything.” In this context, Dürr criticized the Union for blocking the Growth Opportunities Act within the Federal Council. The state chamber has referred the matter to the mediation committee.
