A statement by Merz reveals: Black-Red doesn't know what was agreed upon at all

“We didn't agree on that” – with this statement on the planned minimum wage of 15 euros, Friedrich Merz is causing unrest. The SPD wants to stick to the goal in the new black-red coalition, as the higher minimum wage was one of its central election promises. The coalition agreement only provides for orientation towards the EU guideline, which is not binding. The financial reservation for all projects adds additional fuel to the fire - and strains cooperation even before taking office.
