德國保守派邦總理發表聯合聲明，力挺陷入困境的梅爾茨

柏林，9月16日（路透社）——德國總理弗里德里希・梅爾茨所屬基督教民主聯盟（Christian Democrats）的8名邦總理，週三發表聯合聲明，支持這位陷入困境的領導人。BERLIN, Sept 16 (Reuters) - Eight state premiers from German Chancellor Friedrich Merz's Christian Democrats backed the embattled leader in a joint statement on Wednesday.

在本月一場邦選舉遭遇重大挫敗後，這些邦總理希望透過這封信，平息外界對梅爾茨提前下台的揣測。With the letter, the premiers aim to quell speculation about Merz stepping down early after a major defeat in a state election this month.

他們寫道：「德國政壇如今比以往任何時候都更需要穩定。」並指出波蘭、義大利、西班牙、希臘與法國明年都將舉行選舉，結果仍充滿不確定性。"Now more than ever, Germany's political landscape needs stability," they wrote, pointing to elections in Poland, Italy, Spain, Greece and France next year with uncertain outcomes.

他們並補充：「讓公眾重新信任基督教民主聯盟的道路，在於傾聽與採取政治行動，而不是人事爭論。」"The path to restoring public trust in Christian Democrats lies in listening and taking political action, not in debates over personnel," they added.

一名政黨消息人士表示，梅爾茨所屬保守派已安排週日召開特別會議，以協調該黨對梅克倫堡-西波美拉尼亞與柏林兩邦選舉結果的因應，並展現對梅爾茨領導的團結支持。Merz's conservatives have called a special meeting for Sunday to coordinate the party's response to election results in the states of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Berlin, and demonstrate unity behind Merz's leadership, according to a party source.

週三這封信由萊因蘭-普法茲、北萊茵-西發利亞、薩克森、圖林根、石勒蘇益格-荷爾斯泰因、黑森、薩克森-安哈特與柏林的邦總理共同簽署。Wednesday's letter was signed by the state premiers from Rhineland-Palatinate, North Rhine-Westphalia, Saxony, Thuringia, Schleswig-Holstein, Hesse, Saxony-Anhalt and Berlin.

所有簽署者都是梅爾茨所屬基民盟（CDU）的成員。All are members of Merz's CDU party.

巴伐利亞邦總理、基民盟保守派姊妹黨基社盟（CSU）主席馬庫斯・索德爾（Markus Soeder）也表示，他支持梅爾茨。Markus Soeder, premier of Bavaria and head of CDU's conservative sister party CSU, has also said he is backing Merz.
