Germany's centre-right Christian Democrats (CDU) and their Bavarian sister party set their sights firmly on victory in the 2025 parliamentary elections. 'We are determined to win this Bundestag election in a year's time,' CDU leader Friedrich Merz told a party conference of the Christian Social Union (CSU). Germany needs a government that is not hamstrung by in-fighting, Merz said, in a shot at the deeply unpopular centre-left coalition government led by Chancellor Olaf Scholz. — dpa
