German critics accuse the Union of blocking reforms

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

Political debate in Germany is focusing on the CDU/CSU, with critics arguing that the true obstacles to reform sit within the Union parties. Commenters accuse them of fearing responsibility, lobby influence and genuine decisions, and call on Chancellor Friedrich Merz's government to stop hoping for miracles and act, including on issues like a sugar tax.

Why now: Frustration with the Union's role in the German government is being voiced amid stalled reform discussions.
