Like every other narcissist, he makes good news from others all about him. He's so insecure, he can't be anywhere but in the spotlight.

You're so vain, you probably think this election's about you, you're so vain.

What are the typical beliefs of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) / Christian Social Union (CSU)?

I'm not German and don't have any special insight into German politics, but until someone that knows better comes along I can at least offer that it's Angela Merkel's old party. Unless something has shifted drastically, it's the Germany we've known for most of the past twenty years

True, but Merz is far More right than Merkel was, especially, when speaking of women and immigrants.

Also Merkel got a lot more percent oft the public vote (that counts here - wie do not habe the winner takes it all). Merz got the second worst result of his Party in history and will need to make a coalition with maybe even 2 other parties.

Merz re-iterating the "no AfD coalition" statement has reassured me somewhat. If they need two other parties that's probably even better, because it doesn't seem like any of the other major players would tolerate being in an AfD coalition
