Critics say Germany's CDU blocks reform out of fear

Original: „Die wahren Bremser sitzen in der # union . Das ist Angst vor der eigenen Verantwortung, Angst vor der # lobby Angst vor

A German commentary is accusing the Union parties, particularly the CDU under Friedrich Merz, of being the real obstacles to reform in the current government. The argument says the Union fears taking responsibility and resists lobby influence, preventing real decisions such as a sugar tax. The author calls for an end to hoping for miracles from the CDU-SPD coalition and urges bolder government action.

Why now: Frustration with the German coalition's slow reform pace, especially on health measures like a sugar tax, is fuelling debate.
