Мерц позаимствовал лозунг Меркель

Friedrich Merz, the leader of Germany's Christian Democratic Union (CDU), has adopted a slogan previously used by former Chancellor Angela Merkel. Merz is now using the phrase "Wir schaffen das," which translates to "We can do it," a slogan Merkel famously employed during the 2015 refugee crisis. This rhetorical borrowing comes as Merz seeks to rally support for his party and position it as a viable alternative to the current government.

The adoption of Merkel's iconic slogan by her successor signals a strategic attempt by the CDU to evoke past successes and appeal to a broad base of voters.
