Overview

  • CDU secretary-general Carsten Linnemann urged the government to launch an Agenda 2030 modeled on Schröder’s Agenda 2010, saying the country must now deliver reforms.
  • He cited a Beamtenbund (dbb) survey indicating 73% of Germans lack confidence in the state’s problem‑solving capacity.
  • Linnemann framed the moment as a rare opening after two decades and pointed to priorities including social security systems, Deutsche Bahn performance and cutting bureaucracy.
  • SPD leader Lars Klingbeil recently praised Schröder’s bold reforms and called for comprehensive action ahead of Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s promised “autumn of reforms.”
  • The debate revives the legacy of the 2003 Agenda 2010 and its Hartz IV changes, which many SPD voters resented for years.
