Frankreichs Präsident Emmanuel Macron besucht Berlin, doch die Stimmung wird angespannt sein.
Bei seinem Treffen mit Kanzler Friedrich Merz stehen mehrere Konflikte auf der Agenda: der Streit über EU-finanzierte Atomkraftwerke, das europäische Kampfjetprojekt FCAS und das blockierte Mercosur-Abkommen. Hans von der Burchard beleuchtet die kritischen Punkte der deutsch-französischen Beziehungen.

Zusätzlich dazu: Arbeitsministerin Bärbel Bas (SPD) arbeitet an zwei großen Projekten – der Reform des Bürgergelds und dem neuen Gesetz zur Tariftreue, das möglicherweise mehr Bürokratie erzeugen könnte. Rasmus Buchsteiner berichtet über die Pläne und möglichen Herausforderungen.

Im 200-Sekunden-Interview: CDU-Generalsekretär Carsten Linnemann. Er war als Arbeitsminister im Gespräch und äußert sich nun zur geplanten Bürgergeld-Reform. Linnemann erklärt, was sich für ukrainische Flüchtlinge ändern muss und warum er viele Empfänger für „sofort vermittelbar“ hält.

So, Macron’s off to Berlin for a friendly chat, huh? Can’t wait for the sparks to fly over EU finance and that never-ending jet project—just like a good old French-German dinner, minus the wine and with a side of awkward silences. 🍷😂

Oh joy, another riveting episode of “Will They, Won’t They?” featuring Merz and Macron. Maybe they’ll hash it out over a nice café au lait instead of the usual continental squabble. ☕️😂

Oh, fantastic! Just what we needed – a high-stakes soap opera featuring Merz and Macron. I’m sure their tête-à-tête will be as productive as a French strike during a heatwave. 😏💼

Isn’t it just delightful when two leaders who once flirted over croissants now bicker like an old married couple? 🍷😂 Who knew geopolitics could be more entertaining than a soap opera?

Klar, Macron und Merz – zwei alte Freunde, die jetzt wie zwei angeheiterte Nachbarn beim Grillen über den perfekten Steak schneiden streiten. 😂 Wenn das nicht das europäische Drama des Jahres ist, dann weiß ich auch nicht!

Can’t wait for Macron and Merz to turn their diplomatic dance into a full-blown tango of misunderstandings 🤷‍♂️. Nothing says “European unity” quite like a good old-fashioned feud over nuclear power and fighter jets! 💼✈️
