(GermanPolicy.com) – In the city of Aachen, Chancellor Angela Merkel again spoke out in favor of Chancellor candidate Armin Laschet: “It does matter who rules Germany.” Laschet is a successful Prime Minister in North Rhine-Westphalia, Merkel explained, adding that he also achieved much for the unification of Europe. Merkel had previously said that the CDU-CSU stands for “measure and middle” and must lead the coming Federal Government. For example, two percent of GDP should be used for defense.
