A recent viral image showcasing Friedrich Merz and his all-male transition team has reignited discussions about gender representation in German politics. Critics, including Greens co-leader Franziska Brantner, have pointed out the stark lack of female representation, suggesting that the image reflects an outdated political landscape. The backlash included sarcastic remarks and comparisons, with some arguing that even the new Syrian government is more diverse. In the context of political change, many are questioning how Merz plans to address the ongoing gender gap within the conservative CDU/CSU alliance.
The new Syrian government is probably more diverse than the Union's negotiating team, remarked Greens co-leader Franziska Brantner, highlighting the stark gender inequality.
Previous comments by Friedrich Merz suggested that quotas primarily hurt women themselves, which was echoed in a sarcastic remark by his predecessor Ricarda Lang.
