Merz Appeals to European Cooperation – "Otherwise Tyranny Threatens"

Friedrich Merz calls on Europe to deepen its cooperation. The EU is more than an internal market – above all a community of values. The chancellor supports Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, who was awarded the Karl Prize in Aachen.

Ursula von der Leyen was awarded the International Charlemagne Prize, her party colleague Friedrich Merz gave the keynote speech. Both politicians see a new role for Europe in the world.
