- He called for restraint from parliamentary leaders, stressing the need for discipline within party leadership bodies.
- The Schwarz–Rot coalition holds 328 of 630 Bundestag seats, leaving little room for dissent in key votes.
- Mützenich criticized the focus on personal disputes after reports attributed to Jens Spahn suggested the parties would not “die together,” a remark reported in Bild and not independently confirmed.
- Recent public disputes over the budget, Bürgergeld and plans for a Wehrdienst law were cited as examples of damaging open infighting.
