Friedrich Merz jedan je od najvatrenijih pristaša njemačke vojne pomoći Kijevu

Njemački oporbeni čelnik Friedrich Merz, konzervativni suparnik Olafa Scholza, favorit je za novog kancelara nakon raspada vladajuće koalicije u Njemačkoj i obećava pomak udesno po pitanju migracija, kao i povratak tradicionalnim vrijednostima. Čini se da mu se upornost isplati: u dobi od gotovo 69 godina, ova vječna nada konzervativaca koju je bivša kancelarka Angela Merkel dugo držala po strani, već je pokrenula izbornu kampanju za prijevremene izbore koji se čine neizbježnima u Njemačkoj. I nada se da će izbori biti što prije.

Merz je u četvrtak pozvao socijaldemokrata Scholza da parlament već idući tjedan glasa o povjerenju vladi i da se ne čeka siječanj. "Jednostavno si ne možemo dopustiti da nekoliko mjeseci imamo vladu bez većine", rekao je čelnik Kršćansko-demokratske unije (CDU). U najnovijem barometru javne televizije ZDF, ovaj uglavnom nevoljeni veteran političke scene dobio je 48 posto podrške za vođenje najvećeg europskog gospodarstva, usporedno s 37 posto podrške aktualnom kancelaru. 

Friedrich Merz je pilot u slobodno vrijeme i ima dva privatna zrakoplova. Vodstvo CDU-a preuzeo je napokon u siječnju 2022. nakon poraza njegove stranke na parlamentarnim izborima, nakon dva prethodna uzaludna pokušaja 2018. i 2020. Otad radi na tome da svoju stranku vrati udesno, nakon centrizma za vrijeme Merkel, i nastoji oprati imidž čovjeka kojeg samo vodi želja da se osveti bivšoj kancelarki

Merkel ga je 2002. smijenila s važnog mjesta predsjednika Kluba zastupnika, zbog čega se 2009. povukao iz politike i prešao u sektor financija. Kao odvjetnik u velikoj poslovnoj tvrtki, ovaj otac troje djece u braku s pravnicom, stekao je utjecajne položaje u velikim kompanijama, što uključuje BlackRock, jednog od najvećih svjetskih upravitelja imovinom. Milijunaš kojeg se proziva ga se da arogantan, poznat je po promjenama raspoloženja i sarkazmu. Ali "Friedrich Merz je trenutačno odgovor CDU-a na uspjeh AfD-a", nedavno je ocijenio tjednik Die Zeit.

"Kod kuće ništa šareno i raznoliko: njegovo buržujsko, tradicionalno i bogato obiteljsko podrijetlo (...) i danas odgovara, u velikom dijelu zemlje, idealnoj društvenoj viziji koju dijele agnostici, kršćani i muslimani", piše Die Zeit. On ne misli da u njegovoj vladi mora bit jednak broj muškaraca i žena, a u migracijskoj politici odbacuje nasljeđe Angele Merkel koja je tijekom velike migrantske krize 2015. godine otvorila vrata Njemačke stotinama tisuća Afganistanaca i Sirijaca. On brani sustavna protjerivanja odbijenih tražitelja azila i kriminalaca i smanjenje pomoći migrantima.

Iako isključuje bilo kakav vladin savez s AfD-om, Friedrich Merz se ne ustručava koristiti sličnu retoriku. Nakon napada mladih ljudi na službe hitne pomoći krajem 2022. u Berlinu, Merz je napadače opisao kao "male paše" s "arapskog prostora" koji "u Njemačkoj zapravo nemaju što raditi". Merz je ukrajinske izbjeglice koje bježe od ruske invazije prozvao da prakticiraju "socijalni turizam" čiji je cilj isključivo iskorištavanje njemačkih usluga, ali se nakon toga ispričao.

Friedrich Merz ipak je jedan od najvatrenijih pristaša njemačke vojne pomoći Kijevu. Na ekonomskoj razini, on zauzima liberalnu poziciju, blisku stranci FDP s kojom dijeli privrženost kontroverznoj "dužničkoj kočnici", mehanizmu koji ograničava nove dugove, ali i investicijske kapacitete zemlje. Merz je bio zastupnik Europskog parlamenta od 1989. do 1994. i predstavlja se kao uvjereni Europljanin i gorljivi branitelj francusko-njemačkog motora.
