Brandenburg's CDU deputy parliamentary group leader Bommert writes an incendiary letter to Chancellor Merz

Brandenburg's CDU deputy parliamentary group leader Frank Bommert - previously an ardent supporter of party leader Friedrich Merz - vents his anger at the Chancellor with an incendiary letter. “We don’t need any further announcements, but rather decisions that actually reach the company and the people,” Bommert wrote in the letter, which he published on Instagram. «I am aware that not every problem can be solved within a few months. (...)»

Bommert, who is also district chairman of the CDU Oberhavel, had already called for quick solutions in mid-September. “You can’t come with any Sunday speeches,” he told the dpa. However, he is not calling for Merz to resign now. According to Bommert, he wrote the letter as a CDU politician, entrepreneur and father. The 65-year-old runs a metal construction company in Kremmen. Several media outlets had previously reported on his letter.

“I have high hopes for you and your chancellorship,” writes Bommert. «I remember your request for the tax return on the beer mat. And I remember very well your clear words at the Kremmen talk to many entrepreneurs: less bureaucracy, more freedom and more trust in those who get up every morning, create jobs and bear responsibility. That’s exactly what many people are still waiting for today.”

He criticized “bureaucracy, high costs, slow procedures and ever new regulations”. The CDU stronghold Großbeeren had already written a fire letter to Merz, as had the CDU local association Mühlenbecker Land.
