Altmaier comments on Merz advance
Economics Minister Peter Altmaier is unfazed by Friedrich Merz's attempt to take over his post. "The Chancellor and the new chairman have said their part, and they are those who had to decide on such questions", he told the Düsseldorf" Rheinische Post "." I do my job because the companies, many of which are currently fighting for their existence in this Corona crisis, are counting on us. We have to make sure that the German economy and companies retain their strength – and so far we have been doing quite well. "
