CDU plans to cut electricity tax after poor results

Original: CDU will Stromsteuer absenken Das CDU-Präsidium hat sich nach zuletzt schwachen Wahlergebnissen zur Klausur getroffen. "

Germany's CDU leadership met for a closed-door retreat following a string of weak election results. Chancellor Friedrich Merz said the party must 'work its way out of a low point'. As a first step, the party wants to deliver on an existing pledge by lowering the electricity tax, a move aimed at easing costs for households and showing voters it can act.

Why now: The CDU is trying to signal a turnaround after recent poor election results, making its economic proposals newsworthy.
