Union parliamentary group leader Ralph Brinkhaus has expressly thanked the outgoing Chancellor Angela Merkel for 16 years as chancellor.
The CDU politician said on Sunday at the Young Union's Germany Day in Münster that he had crossed over with Merkel several times, as was the case with the issue of migration.
But: “Germany has been governed better than most other countries in the world over the past 16 years.
Münster - Thank you very much for that and for your commitment, ”said Brinkhaus.
At the same time, he pointed out that in future the Union should no longer be dependent on just one person.
It is important that the Union is perceived as a team.
