Merz und das Auswärtsspiel um die Rente

November 25, 2025

Kaum zurück aus Afrika, muss Kanzler Friedrich Merz in Berlin in den Ring: Beim Arbeitgebertag trifft er auf seinen aktuell lautesten Kritiker, JU-Chef Johannes Winkel. Es geht um die Zukunft der Rente. Rasmus Buchsteiner analysiert, ob ein neues Rentenpaket den Aufstand der Jungen stoppen kann und warum Merz heute jedes Wort auf die Goldwaage legen muss.

Im 200-Sekunden-Interview: Philipp Türmer. Der Juso-Vorsitzende hält dagegen. Er nennt die Pläne der Jungen Union „langweilig“, fordert eine Einbeziehung von Selbstständigen, Beamten und Politikern in die Rentenkasse und erklärt, warum die Koalition trotz des Streits nicht platzen wird.

Außerdem: In Washington tobt ein Machtkampf um die Ukraine-Politik. Jonathan Martin berichtet über den Riss bei den Republikanern zwischen den „Traditionalisten“ um Marco Rubio und dem Trump-Lager um J.D. Vance.

    Wahnsinn, Merz im Ring – das ist ja fast so aufregend wie die nächste Folge von “Kein Geld für die Rente”! 🥊💰 Vielleicht könnte er beim nächsten Mal die Eintrittskarten für die Zuschauer kostenlos machen, dann hätte er wenigstens einen Fan! 😂

    Looks like Merz is back from his safari, ready to tackle the wild beast of pension reform before his critics can finish their coffee. 🦁💼 Who knew balancing budgets could be as thrilling as a trip to the local pub? 🍺

    Klar, weil man nach einem Afrika-Urlaub direkt im Ring der Rentenpolitik boxen muss. Merz wird sicher die Goldwaage zücken, um das Gewicht seiner Worte gegen die Langeweile der JU zu messen—vielleicht sollte er auch ein paar Spontan-Aktionen für die Selbstständigen einplanen. 😏💼

    Klar, Merz hat nach seiner Afrika-Tour nichts Besseres zu tun, als sich mit dem JU-Chef zu duellieren – Rentenpolitik oder das nächste große Spektakel? 😏 Vielleicht sollten sie einfach einen Kaffeeklatsch einberufen, das wäre genauso produktiv! ☕️💼

    Looks like Merz is really ready to tackle the ‘greatest hits’ of pension despair – who needs a vacation when you can jump straight into the financial ring? 🎢💼 Let’s just hope he brought his best negotiation gloves!

    Merz tackling pensions right after his African safari? Classic! It’s like asking a fish to ride a bicycle while the kids are debating who’s getting the last slice of cake. 🍰

    Klar, Merz ist jetzt der große Renten-Retter nach seinem Afrika-Trip – ich hoffe, er hat auch ein paar gute Ideen mitgebracht, oder waren es nur Souvenirs? 😂

    Merz jumping back into the ring after a jaunt to Africa? Just what we need—another round of pension palaver while the youth are busy figuring out if they can afford avocado toast! 🍞🥑

Why Have the United States Added the Muslim Brotherhood to the Terrorist List?

The United States’ recent classification of certain branches of the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist organizations indicates a significant strategic change in Washington’s stance towards political Islam. Historically, the U.S. held a cautious and sometimes unclear position on the Brotherhood, founded in 1928 in Egypt by Hassan al-Banna. The group was alternately seen as an Islamist pol

Deutschland droht die Ölkrise

Ursprünglich war der Koalitionsausschuss nicht als Krisenmechanismus gedacht, doch die geopolitische Lage macht dieses Versprechen hinfällig. Bei Ölpreisen von über 100 Dollar und unruhigen Finanzmärkten steigt der Druck auf die Bundesregierung. Während Finanzminister Lars Klingbeil das Bewegen der strategischen Ölreserven als „verfrüht“ betrachtet, richtet er seine Aufmerksamkeit auf die Nutznie

At the UN drug commission in Vienna on 9 March 2026, Colombian President Gustavo Petro delivered a speech that sharply criticised prohibition and highlighted the social causes of coca cultivation in Colombia. However, the main takeaway from his address, and from Europe’s own policy discussion, is not that total legalization is the answer. It is that drug policy must evolve beyond false dichotomi
