BERLIN: The leader of Germany's ruling Christian Democrats has responded to French President Emmanuel Macron's ideas for a"European renaissance" by offering some overlap with his vision, while also warning against too much centralisation.
"Our Europe needs to become stronger," Kramp-Karrenbauer, who succeeded Merkel as CDU leader in December, wrote in an opinion piece for the Welt an Sonntag weekly newspaper. That appeared to counter Macron's call for a European minimum wage, adapted to each country, and also highlighted the entrenched resistance in Berlin to any moves that could make Germany liable for other countries' debts.Macron's proposals, unveiled in an open letter to citizens of Europe that was published this week in newspapers across the EU, aim to protect and defend Europe's citizens while giving the 28-nation bloc new impetus in the face of global competition.
Presenting her ideas, Kramp-Karrenbauer, who is Merkel's protege and in pole position to succeed her as chancellor, called for an internal European banking market to ensure that Europe's businesses can secure financing in the EU.
